I spent months filleting pollock...got to hate them,being newest filleters we were on tail end of conveyor belt so continually got smallest and broken fish to work with..they came off Russian trawlers into the factory in Timaru....
funny thing,we had been straight split filleting them for month,then through skinning machine baader think it was called,then back to small line to debone/take out Vbone...I suggested to foreman we cut through fillet and skin taking out Vbone before skinning,he trialed it said awesome and we changed over...told big boss to let night shift know..oh they have been doing it for weeks!!!!!
think most of it ended up in fish fingers/cakes and some into battered fish n chip type stuff. shit thats going back 34 years ago now.
