A machine has stations for continuous fish filleting. Decapitated gutted fish are placed with backs upwards and fronts foremost. A first station engages the fish and centers the fish relative to a vertical plane. Lower sides of the fish are arranged on opposite sides of the plane. A second station detects and registers vertical extents of lower edges and backs of the fish. A third station fixates backs of the fish and cuts slits in the backs. The slits extend at least along either side of protruding back fins. A fourth station has articulated cutters arranged on either side of the vertical plane for trimming parts of lowermost sides and edges of the fish. A fifth station has upper cutters positioned along the vertical plane for cutting meat free from vertebrae. A sixth station cuts vertically on either side of the vertebrae. A seventh station directs fillets outward.

Fish filleting machine

A fish-cutting machine for cutting fillets from the backbone of fish (), the machine comprising a fish support (), a feed-line for feeding fish through the machine and two mutually adjacent band saws () arranged along the feed-line. The band saws functions to cut on respective sides of the backbone of a fish () for filleting the abdomen-bone part of the fish and thus for separating the fish into two fish fillets and a carcass. A spine cutting device is arranged along the feed-line () and before the band saws () in a feeding direction of the feed-line, and the spine cutting device comprise two mutually adjacent cutting blades () for cutting of incisions in the spine part of the fish.
