Abstract
Apparatus (10) for the rapid, assembly-line severing of wing sections from marine creatures such as skates or rays is provided which minimizes manual labor and collects severed wing sections for further processing. The apparatus (10) is provided with a wing severing station (12) having a pair of powered, relatively laterally adjustable wing-severing blades (70, 72) along with a central, pivotally mounted, fish-engaging hold down assembly (30). Severed wings are directed via appropriate diverters (122, 124, 126) onto a conveyor (118) for further processing, while the central fish carcasses are collected via a chute (132).
