Abstract
The invention relates to a method for mechanically recovering flesh from fish, in which by introducing incisions, the dorsal bones and the ventrally directed bones are cut free from the laterally located fillets without separating the pin bones from the spine and the separating gaps formed by the incisions are then expanded, thereby moving the lateral fillets away from the spine of the fish in the lateral direction transverse to the dorsal bones, wherein the fillets are peeled away from the pin bones extending laterally out from the spine or the flank bones, and a corresponding apparatus for mechanically recovering the flesh of fish.

A method for mechanically recovering flesh from fish, in which by introducing incisions, the dorsal bones and the ventrally directed bones are cut free from the laterally located fillets without separating the pin bones from the spine and the separating gaps formed by the incisions are then expanded, thereby moving the lateral fillets away from the spine of the fish in the lateral direction transverse to the dorsal bones, wherein the fillets are peeled away from the pin bones extending laterally out from the spine or the flank bones.
An apparatus for mechanically recovering flesh from fish comprising
- a receiving device, which is designed to receive and hold the fish to be processed, knives, which are arranged and configured to introduce incisions that cut free the dorsal bones and the ventrally directed bones from the laterally located fillets, and
- two fillet deflectors, which are movable relative to the receiving device in such a way that they enter the separating gaps formed by the incisions and bring about a lateral movement of the fillets transverse to the dorsal bones of the fish and away from the spine.
