Do we have a verb expressing that we take out things that are floating on water?

Question

After I squeeze juice out of an orange into a bowl. Some of the orange pips floats on the orange juice.

If we don't take all the pips out then we have to check for pips when drinking the juice.

Do we have a verb expressing that we take out things that are floating on water using a spoon for example?

For example, I skim the pips out of the orange juice

Answer 1

By analogy with angling, you can say you "fish the pips out the juice".

Cambridge gives "to pull something out of water or take something out of a bag or pocket", but it can be used for orange juice too.
