Claim:
1. A fish processing system, comprising: a first fish processing subsystem configured to process fish in a sequential manner with the fish orientated in a first orientation that is transverse to a direction of travel through the first fish processing subsystem; a second fish processing subsystem positioned downstream of the first fish processing subsystem, the second fish processing subsystem configured to process the fish in a sequential manner with the fish orientated in a second orientation that is parallel to a direction of travel through the second fish processing subsystem; and a conveyor system that couples the first fish processing subsystem to the second fish processing subsystem, the conveyor system configured to receive the fish in the first orientation transverse to the direction of travel through the first fish processing subsystem and deliver the fish in the second orientation parallel to the direction of travel through the second fish processing subsystem, and the conveyor system including a roller chain assembly configured to transport the fish from the first fish processing subsystem to the second fish processing subsystem along a curvilinear path.
