fish scaler, perch, walleye

[Jimdski]

We used a "potato peeler" which was a rotating Rough coated plate spinning in a water spray that worked well. Also a motor driven shaft with a rough sharped tool that peeled the scales off a perch or walleye. a Simor machine from Canada that pooled the scales off perch and walleye. Another machine that held the perch from the tail and scraped the perch and walleyes in a rough plated wheels. An electric motor driven shaft with a tool that scraped the perch or walleyes clean , hand tools that scraped the perch clean to filet the fish after descaling, also a rotating drum that descaled perch. All these methods were used by commercial fishermen to filet their catch. Finding them today is a lost system. A good wife, good child or a tired fisherman who stayed up till four AM to clean the catch brought in from Lake Erie now.
