ABSTRACT:
A tool for grasping and manually removing a number of the pin bones from fillets of large fish, such as whitefish, lake trout, haddock, scrod and the like, is disclosed. A pair of pinching members, formed of flat, springy, sheet metal plates arranged in overlapping relationship, are attached to the ends of a forcep-type body portion. Manual forces applied to the body portion move adjacent free edges of the plates together to grasp pin bones between them. The free edge of one of the pinching members is bent inwardly towards the adjacent free edge of the other member to fit around and grip the curved end portions of the pin bones which are adjacent the surface of the fish fillet. A method for deboning the fish is also disclosed, whereby a number of pin bones may be removed simultaneously from a fish fillet.
