Fresh or frozen? With fish, it makes a difference. Fresh fish are obviously softer and easier to cut, so you’ll want to use a Knife Edge bandknife blade.
However, if you’re cutting frozen or deep-frozen fish (stored at -40 to -76° F), then you’re better off using a thinner bandsaw blade like the 5/8” x .014” or 5/8” x .016” SimCut Butcher blade.
Simmons can also provide seafood processing knives for filleting, skinning, heading, slicing, and portioning as well as crab leg cutters, ultrasonic cutters, and packaging knives for your finished products. All of our seafood processing knives are made from 300 or 400-series stainless steel and are rust-resistant, which is particularly important for coastal or offshore processing operations.
