The invention relates to a filleting device (10) for harvesting fillets from poultry carcasses (1) that are moved in a conveyer-line supported on carriers, which comprises first means (4) to guide at least a part of the fillets (2) so as to increase this part's distance from the carcass and break the tissue connections that connect the fillet or fillets in their natural position to the keel-bone of the carcass, and that it comprises second means (6) that complete the harvesting of the fillets by peeling the fillets entirely loose from the keel-bone (3).
