1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a fish cleaning apparatus. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fish cleaning apparatus for securely holding a fish during cleaning and filleting thereof.
2. Description of Related Art
When fish are caught, it is desirable that such fish be cleaned and prepared as soon as possible so that the fresh flavor of the fish is maintained.
Accordingly, several prior art fish cleaning tables and the like have been proposed including tables for holding the fish during cleaning and filleting thereof. However, such prior proposals have suffered from the drawback that the fish is not always adequately supported during the aforementioned cleaning operation. Furthermore, such tables do not readily permit reversing of the fish so that both sides of the fish may be descaled.
Therefore, it is a primary feature of the present invention to provide a lish cleaning apparatus that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior fish cleaning devices and which makes a considerable contribution to the art of cleaning and preparing fish.
Another feature of the present invention is the provision of a fish cleaning apparatus that firmly holds the fish against a board during a cleaning of a first side of the fish and subsequently permitting the fish to be reversed for cleaning a second side of the fish.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art by a careful consideration of the detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention described herein and as shown in the annexed drawings.
