Abstract
The invention relates to a method for gaining skin-freebelly flaps of fish and an apparatus for performing such method. In a fish filleting machine which processes the fish being conveyed tail first and comprises a belly and back filleting tool, a rib severing tool designed as a scraping tool, and a severing tool for releasing meat bands on either side of the spinal column in the tail region, a cutting device is arranged between the two first-mentioned tools, and a further severing device is arranged directly behind the rib severing tool. By actuating the latter at the instance of arrival of the belly cavity end, a cutting element thereof, comprising a knife blade, penetrates the fillet meat up to the inside of the skin and, during further advancing of the fish, splits the skin off the meat portions covering the ribs and the lateral vertebral appendages of the skeleton, i.e. off the belly flaps, so that these are obtained skinless after having passed the rib severing tool.
