Disclosed is an improved method and apparatus for removing tough, inedible skin and underlying fat from a frozen fish such as tuna, marlin, shark, and swordfish. The apparatus includes a high speed, contoured rotary cutter disposed in a housing with a tailored aperture through which is exposed a limited sector portion of the cutter. The apparatus is manually applied to the frozen fish and traversed across the fish in a series of passes to effectively and efficiently denude the fish of substantially all of the skin and fat. A depth of cut guide precludes burrowing of the cutter into the comestible flesh thereby maintaining high yield.

[ We claim:] [1.] An apparatus for skinning a frozen fish comprising,a housing configured to be grasped by a user, said housing having an axis and including a shield forming an aperture therein;a cutter supported for rotation within said shield along an axis parallel to said housing axis, said cutter comprising a generally cylindrical member having a contoured side formed by a plurality of longitudinally extending teeth having trailing edge radial relief resulting in angled surfaces between respective leading edges and trailing edges of the teeth, wherein at least a portion of said cutter is exposed by said shield proximate said aperture to form a working zone; andmeans for transmission of torque to said cutter coupled in driving engagement therewith.
