Claim 11:
12. A method for a final separation of fish fillets from fish which are transported, tail-first, in a transport direction along a transport path and which have already undergone a belly cut and a flank cut, comprising the steps:
transporting the fish to be processed tail-first in the transport direction along the transport path by means of a transport apparatus;
cutting the fish fillets parallel to a backbone of the fish to be processed by means of a cutting blade assembly, in that the fish to be processed are transported through, tail-first and with their backs directed upwards towards the cutting blade assembly, between two circular blades of the cutting blade assembly which are located at a distance from each other;
wherein the circular blades are controlled with respect to a distance from each other by at least one sensing element which is guided in the transport direction downstream of cutting edges of the circular blades, which are directed counter to the transport direction, laterally along the backbone of the fish which is exposed by the cutting.
