Abstract
An apparatus for mechanically extracting fish roe utilized in conjunction with a continuous operation to butcher and clean fish, especially salmon. After head removal, each fish traverses along a V-shaped trough, tail first and belly up, through side compressing (but resilient) rollers, vertically disposed, forcing the roe sack out of the fish body through the opening provided by the head removal. The trough has a lower opening strategically located relative to the rollers to allow the fish roe to drop by gravity to a collecting receptacle.
