Abstract
In a method for removing skin from fish and fowl, the fish and fowl are exposed to intense heat for a short duration. The heat is sufficiently intense to destroy the bond between the skin and underlying flesh without significantly affecting the underlying flesh. The high temperature is removed and the skin is refrozen. The fish or fowl is carried to a skinning station where a high velocity spray, which is directed at the skin, rapidly separates the skin from the underlying flesh without removing the flesh.
