Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus, designed and configured for the removal of pin bones from a fish fillet that has been completely separated from the skeleton, comprising a tool having a clamping mechanism for clamping and releasing individual pin bones, a drive for the rotary driving of at least parts of the clamping mechanism and means for transmitting the rotational movement from the drive to the clamping mechanism, which is characterized in that the clamping mechanism comprises a base body that can be driven such that it rotates about a rotational axis, with which at least two clamping jaws are associated, which clamping jaws define a resulting central axis M and are for clamping and releasing the pin bones, wherein the clamping jaws are designed and configured such that they can move towards and away from one another, and the drive is designed and configured for exerting an oscillating rotational movement of the base body about the rotational axis and thereby of the clamping jaws about the central axis M. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
