A Philadelphia inventor showcases a machine claimed to clean and dress 360 fish per minute by automatically decapitating, gutting, and slicing them into baskets. Two clutches grip the fish, a circular knife decapitates, knives strip and clean, and a shaft sends cleaned fish to a basket while heads and waste drop away. The device supposedly reduces work from multiple workers and can be operated by one adult and two children, with an automatic register tracking output.
