The present invention relates to a fish
cutting apparatus and a method for
cutting fish fillets from the bones of the fish, wherein the fish
cutting apparatus may reduce the initial costs and maintenance costs, but still be easy to operate and provide a substantially satisfactory filleting result. The present invention addresses this by providing a fish cutting apparatus for cutting fillets of fish, wherein the fish cutting apparatus comprises a conveying
system for conveying at least one fish through the cutting apparatus, in a conveying direction through a cutting zone. At least one set of two cutting blades is arranged adjacent to each other in said cutting zone, wherein a blade distance is provided between the cutting blades. Each of the cutting blades are arranged on a first and second side of the conveying
system. At least one adjustable arrangement is configured to adjust said blade distance by displacing said cutting blades relative to each other according to a pre-set cutting program configured to perform a cutting task. A
user interface is configured to receive a batch information related to a batch of fish to be
cut. A
control unit configured to retrieve said batch information from said
user interface, wherein the
control unit is configured to control said adjustable arrangement when executing the pre-set program based on said batch information, such that each fish in the batch is
cut according to a predetermined cutting pattern, when each fish in the batch of fish in
continuation of each other is being conveyed through the cutting zone.
