Abstract: The apparatus and method of packaging smoked fish fillets requires a flat or cambered raised wire smoking rack with spaces between wires cooperating with the spaced cutting edges of the parallel knives positioned in front of a working platform arm device. The working arm device comprises a planar backing surface tray supported by a wire support, a lower arm cuff, and a hinged upper arm cuff on rod supports that attach to the worker's uniform. The system enables safe and efficient removal of smoked fish fillets from its rack without injury to the smoked product and the worker.
