ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for recovering neck meat from a fish head that has been separated from the trunk of a fish comprises a pivoting device that receives and pivots the fish head into a chin-up position, followed by a synclinal chamber that holds the fish head, and a cutting blade operating near the bottom of the fish head for separating the neck meat from the fish head. The synclinal chamber holds the fish head in a chin-up position so that the neck meat protrudes downwardly in the direction of the cutting blade. The pivoting device may be a rotating drum having one or more chambers. The synclinal chamber includes an underside and a synclinal catch between which is a passage through which the neck meat protrudes and is cut off. The amount of protruding neck meat is adjustable by adjusting the width of the passage.
