Abstract: A fish scaler assembly for removing scales from a fish such that scales and grime do not accumulate on a scraper. The assembly can be connected to a pressurized water source by threaded coupling having an adapter. A flexible tube on the adapter transports water between the water source and a nozzle attached to the scraper. Water flows from an outlet of the nozzle over the scraper to prevent the accumulation of scales and grime on a scraping portion of the scraper. The outlet of the nozzle is placed at a distance from the scraping portion to prevent to clogging of the outlet.

If desired, the sheet (12) may include a mount (28) for a filleting knife (34), and a carry bag (44) may be provided for transport of the assembly (10).

Abstract: A fish processing apparatus includes a casing in which are respectively mounted a brushing unit, a clamping unit, a pushing unit, a cutting unit, and a driving unit. The brushing unit includes two scraping brushes that are mounted in a manner to overlap each other. Each scraping brush includes an axle on which are attached a plurality of flexible bristles respectively terminating in a scraping portion. The rotation of the scraping brushes removes the scales of the fish body. The clamping unit is mounted at a location between and below the two scraping brushes to receive the fish body, and the pushing unit is placed below the clamping unit to push the fish body toward the cutting unit that cuts the fish body and removes its viscera.

Abstract: A fish cleaning tool for safely cleaning fish with minimal risk of injury to the user includes a main body having a buoyant handle portion, a head portion, and a neck portion extending between the handle portion and the head portion. The head portion has a convex upper surface with protrusions extending from the convex upper surface for removing scales from a fish when the convex upper surface abrades the fish. A blade extends between a first end of the head portion and the neck portion.

Abstract: A fish skinner for removing the skin from a fish filet that includes a cutting block in connection with a pivoting cover plate wherein the cutting block has a recess for receiving the skin of the fish filet and the pivoting cover plate is used to hold the fish filet in place while a filet knife is drawn across the top edge of the cutting block to cut the filet free from the fish skin.

Abstract: A game and fish cleaning enclosure for enabling anglers to clean their fish indoors without causing a mess. The game and fish cleaning enclosure includes a board member having a top and side ends; and also includes support members being removably connected to said board member; and further includes a canopy member being removably supported upon the support members.

Abstract: A fish scaling device which comprises a scaler box and a hand held scaler. The scaler box is rectangular in shape and includes a top surface with a multiplicity of horizontally placed indented bars which indentions resemble the profile of the length of the fish which assist in holding a fish in a secured position wherein the top surface also includes a means for securing the nose of the fish, while the top surface also includes a multiplicity of horizontal elongated perforations which allow removed scales from the fish to fall into an interior of the box for storage and disposal after the scaling procedure.

Abstract: A new fish scaling net for removing scales from fish with ease and without mess. The inventive device includes a frame member including a lower frame member and an upper frame member. The lower frame member has a generally rectangular configuration. The lower frame member includes opposed long side segments and opposed short end segments. Free ends of the side and end segments are adjoined by corner brackets. The upper frame member includes a pair of inverted U-shaped segments.

Abstract: A fish scaling device which is characterized by a flat support designed to receive a fish for scaling, a tail clamp adjustably mounted on one end of the support for clamping the tail of the fish to the support and a head clamp located at the opposite end of the support for immobilizing the head of the fish. In a preferred embodiment a scaling device which includes an electric motor, to which is attached a scaling tool, is used for scaling the fish. In another preferred embodiment a transparent cover is fitted over the support and the fish to be scaled and a slot is provided in a scaling panel hinged to the support, such that the scaler can be moved from side-to-side along the support to scale the fish when the cover is used to prevent scattering of the scales.

Abstract: A block-type body member has a handle on the top thereof and a depending flange on the bottom. The flange is curved outwardly and terminates in a sharpened wavy cutting edge capable of moving under fish scales for removing the scales when the device is rubbed against the fish. In a first embodiment, the cutting edge extends around the outer defining portion of the body member and in another embodiment the cutting edge depends from triangular bottom wall areas disposed inwardly of the outer defining portion of the body member. The handle has a recessed fit in the body member and preferably comprises a semi-resilient material providing a good grip on the device.

Abstract: A fish scaling device having a dual cutting blade for alternately removing scales of a fish and thereafter removing the inner visceral tissues of the fish. The device preferably includes a pair of upper sharp surfaces having mutually opposite end points, with the upper sharp surfaces each being convex in shape and defining a gap therebetween. The convex surfaces adapt to the inner visceral concave surfaces of the inside of the fish being cleaned. In addition, oppositely disposed to the sharp, smooth blade surfaces are a pair of convex serrated blades having mutually opposite end points, with the serrated blades defining a gap therebetween. In an alternate version a rotating blade set is provided with alternate serrated and generally sharp, smooth blade surfaces.

Abstract: A tool for scaling fish includes a handle with a shaft rotatably mounted to the handle and projecting therefrom. A generally cylindrical scaling head is engaged on the shaft and rotated at a high speed. The scaling head has a circular array of relatively wide ribs spaced around its periphery and extending the length of the head. Each rib has a substantially flat top wall and flat angled sidewalls so as to form relatively sharp parallel wedge-shaped corners at the tops of the ribs. When the tool head is brought into contact with a fish, the moving ribs strip away the fish scales efficiently and effectively without damaging the underlying flesh of the fish.
