CONT

Located adjacent to the gutting table, a simple type of mechanical fish-washing device may consist of a rotating circular tank, with continuously flowing water, which swirls the fish around its periphery with the fish slime, blood, and scum overflowing into a discharge pipe. Eviscerated fish washed in this manner receive an excellent final wash without danger of being bruised, crushed, or otherwise damaged.

One end of the dredge is closed with chain mesh or an iron grill to trap solid fragments while permitting water and soft sediment to wash through; the other is open, attached by a chain bridle to a cable from the ship.
