Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing fish fillets includes subjecting fish fillets lying on a skin side to a brief pulling cut in the tail region and a splitting separation by a stationary separating edge which, when the fillets approach, enters in the region of the pulling cut between skin and flesh layers and separates the two layers from each other, while at the same time a pull is exerted on the skin layer. Pressure is exerted on the flesh side of the fillet in the input region thereof against the separating edge, and the pulling cut is triggered under the control of a signal, effected in a few strokes and interrupted again immediately afterwards under the control of the signal, whereupon for continuation of the final separating operation the separating edge enters the region of the pulling cut between skin and fillet flesh layers.
