The present invention allows fish processing machinery designed to process pollock or salmon, such as the Baader 182, to be adapted to process flat fish, such as sole. One embodiment of the present invention includes a generally rectangular fish holder that replaces the current fish holders on a fish processing machine. The fish holders include two arms which extend over a portion of the fins and body of a flat fish and hold it in place in the fish holder. The arms include two recesses that have slanted rear walls that center the flat fish as it is placed within the fish holder. Two slots extend across the width of the fish holder to allow a rotating blade to extend beneath the upper surface of the fish holder so as to ensure that the blades cut cleanly through the thickness of the fish. The present invention allows fish processing machinery to hold and center a flat fish so that the head and tail may be cut off to produce various products, such as kirimi.
