APPARATUS FOR REMOVING A SURFACE LAYER FROM ANIMAL MUSCULAR TISSUE, PARTICULARLY A LAYER INCLUDING THE SKIN FROM FISH FILLETS

摘要

An apparatus for skinning fish includes a pressure pad carrying an oscillating knife blade and defining a presser surface which faces the circumferential surface of a skinning roller, the pressure pad being mounted to yield against spring force. The oscillating knife blade is guided in a pocket formed in the pressure pad. This arrangement makes it possible to skin fish fillets without any splitting of the tail portion.
