Abstract
Many different designs of fillet boards exist in the related art. One problem associated with processing fish is the problem of keeping a fish in a stable position to execute fillet cuts. The subject invention is an improved Fish Fillet Board and Method of Use. The subject invention relates to the field of fishing and fish processing. The subject invention utilizes a gill bracket, which secures a fish in proper position for the user to execute the first side fillet cut. Once the first side fillet cut is completed, the user then positions the appropriate number of spacers to level the fish for the second side fillet cut. Levelling of the fish significantly decreases the difficulty of the second side fillet cut, and decreases the potential of wasted meat due to an inaccurate fillet cut.
Claims21
a Fish Fillet Board comprised of:
- a. a baseboard with a plurality of support posts;
- b. a plurality of stackable spacers;
- c. where said stackable spacers have holes, which correspond to said support posts;
- and
- d. a gill bracket affixed to said baseboard by any securing means.
a Fish Fillet Board comprised of:
- a. a baseboard with a plurality of 1¼ inch support posts;
- b. a plurality of ¼ inch thick stackable spacers;
- c. where said baseboard and said spacers are comprised of HDPE food grade plastic;
- d. where said stackable spacers have holes, which correspond to said support posts;
- and
- e. said stackable spacers are further comprised of a cut out portion at one end to form a recess, which accepts the partially processed fish's head portion;
- e. a gill bracket affixed to said baseboard by any securing means;
- f. where said gill bracket is angled 60 degrees from the user side edge of said baseboard;
- and
- g. the fish engaging portion of said gill bracket is elevated from the top of said baseboard by one 45 degree bend upward, and one 45 degree bend downward of said gill bracket.
a Fish Fillet Board comprised of:
- a. a baseboard with a plurality of 1 inch support posts;
- b. a plurality of ⅜ inch thick stackable spacers;
- c. where said baseboard and said spacers are comprised of HDPE food grade plastic;
- d. where said stackable spacers have holes, which correspond to said support posts;
- and
- e. said stackable spacers are further comprised of a cut out portion at one end to form a recess, which accepts the partially processed fish's head portion;
- e. a gill bracket affixed to said baseboard by any securing means;
- f. where said gill bracket is angled 60 degrees from the user side edge of said baseboard;
- and
- g. the fish engaging portion of said gill bracket is elevated from the top of said baseboard by one 45 degree bend upward, and one 45 degree bend downward of said gill bracket.
A method for processing a fish comprising:
- a. placing a fish on a baseboard and engaging the fish with an affixed gill bracket;
- b. executing a first side fillet cut;
- c. selecting an appropriate number of stackable spacers to apply to said baseboard, which act to level the fish's spine prior to the second fillet cut;
- d. where said stackable spacers are comprised of a cut out portion at one end to form a recess, which accepts the partially processed fish's head portion;
- e. placing the partially processed fish on said stackable spacers, processed side down, where the head portion of said fish rests in said recess created by said cut out portion of said stackable spacers;
- and
- f. executing a second side fillet cut.
