fish scaler machine looking for info

[skinny]

ok some time ago I saw a machine to scale fish not sure if it was in person or a vid but I remember it looked kinda like a propane tank with end cut off and grit glued to the inside walls

I also think it might have been used for potatoes also

 

 

the tank or cylinder stood up right hole in top

and not sure if it vibrated or rotated to cause the action to remove scales

 

anyway I'm trying to find pictures or video of the beast

i looked for it on Ytube. I seen many that made me think,NOT.

I,ll stick with my fillet style method.

Yes. They are round shaped motorized machines which were designed to peel potatoes. They work incredibly well on potatoes and I've heard they work great on perch. I have one but have never put fish in it. I can do 10 lbs of potatoes in minutes though!

Cabelas sells/ or sold them before, saw one in action at the Orillia Perch Derby when there was no limit, full freezers in motorhomes going to sell them. https://www.google.ca/search?q=electric+fish+scaler&client=firefox-a&hs=81J&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&tbm=isch&imgil=qnMzBLgsTl1uBM%253A%253Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fencrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com%252Fimages%253Fq%253Dtbn%253AANd9GcSAgAJHzTAM3WsEjKiBI8YLH1E-zlLGAt6RpVHNTcZfNo3rPLKn%253B930%253B666%253B4QfJcyFRhsKO5M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.wedgeoutdoors.com%25252F&source=iu&usg=__YsNX05jQ6dPCLE4IuOsu5FjIa8I%3D&sa=X&ei=JWkzU732FcnYoAT4q4CwBA&ved=0CEUQ9QEwAA#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=qnMzBLgsTl1uBM%253A%3B4QfJcyFRhsKO5M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.wedgeoutdoors.com%252Fimages%252FFish%252520Scaler.JPG%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.wedgeoutdoors.com%252F%3B930%3B666

I've heard the potatoe peelers work great on Simco perch.
