Because Chinese workers were used in earlier days to behead, eviserate and remove the fins, the machines that replaced these workers and these messiest steps were almost universally referred to, not as the ''Iron Butcher'' (as above), but as the 'Iron Chink''. Unfortunately, I even heard that term used for this equipment on the BC coast during the 1970s! Hopefully, now it's a racist epithet no longer spoken! 🐟 🐠 🐡 🍥 🐟 🐠 🐡 🍥 🐟 🐠 🐡 🍥 🐟
just when i thought there couldn't possibly be a video for this rabbit hole i've found myself in....... thank you!
that heading machine looks fucking brutal.
and still in use. Iron Butchers are one of mostly used deheading machines in Alaska salmon processing.
