ABSTRACT:
A fish processing machine for removing the gills, viscera and blood line kidney from head on fish. The machine includes an adjustable positioning ramp located upstream from a pair of spaced apart belly cutting blades. The adjustment of the height of the positioning ramp combined with the spacing between the belly blades is such that the tongue can be cut away from the jaw but left attached to the gills. The fish is then transported downstream with its tongue riding lower than its head and ribs. A gill removal wheel utilizes the tongue to pull the gills from their gill cavities thus removing the gills and viscera. Another cleaning wheel located downstream of the gill removal wheel removes the blood line kidney. A method for removing the gills, viscera and kidney from head on fish is also disclosed.
