Abstract:
1. A fish scale removal apparatus, the fish scale removal apparatus comprising: a rotary motor encased in a housing; a blade coupling member, the blade coupling member being rotated by the motor; a scale removing blade assembly, the scale removing blade assembly being removably coupled to the fish scale removal apparatus via the blade coupling member; and the scale removing blade assembly comprising a plurality of elongated planar blades projecting transversely from a shaft, wherein the elongated planar blades are defined as having two vertical surfaces having a proximal edge and a distal edge, the proximal edge being proximate the shaft, spanning between a coupling portion of the shaft and a distal end of the shaft and a scale removing edge provided between the distal edges of the vertical surfaces, wherein the elongated planar blades are fabricated of a size, shape, and material in which the elongated planar blade flexes when the scale removing blade assembly is rotating and the scale removing edge contacts skim of a fish; and each blade being arranged in a parallel relation to a longitudinal axis of said shaft and projecting radially from a shaft.
