Abstract

A method for gutting beheaded and non-beheaded fish, and in particular farmed fish, uses a circular blade with a guide gouge for opening the abdominal cavity. Then, the entrails are aspirated and extracted separately from the aspirating and extracting of the blood and water. Separate suction pipes connected to separate collecting receptacles are used for aspirating and extracting the entrails and the blood and water, respectively.
