ABSTRACT:
A holder usable to hold various food items, such as ham, chicken, etc., but particularly efficacious as a combined catfish killer and holder for skinning. The device includes a longitudinally extended, base platform (1); an upwardly extended, fish positioning, holding plate (2) at one end of the platform having a "V" shaped opening into which the fish's head is positioned; a killing spike (4) carried by a sleeve (5), which is carried by a laterally extending, "floating" top bar (6) slidingly mounted on the exterior sides of the diverging "V" legs (21); a laterally extended, stop railing (7) provided at the other end of the platform extending below its bottom (11); and a lateral trough (8) across the top (12) of the platform. In use, the head (H) end of the catfish (C) is positioned in the "V" shaped opening, while applying backward pressure on the fish, causing the fish's pectoral fins (F) to rest back against the distal sides of the "V", properly aligning the fish so that, when the top plate (2) is placed down on the "V", the fish's brain is in "perfect" alignment with the spike. The spike is hit with a mallet, and the fish is instantly killed, while the fish is held in triangulated fashion. The raised bottom (22) of the opening causes the part of the fish that is typically cut with a knife to be fully exposed, while also permitting clearance for the use of skinning pliers to pull the catfish's skin off. The fish may also be fileted while restrained in the holder.
