| Summary: | cut v The cut-throat, armed with a two-edged knife, seizes the fish by the eyes, cuts his throat, and, having opened it down to the vent with a single stroke of his knife, passes it to the header. The header detaches the liver, which he throws into a barrel placed near him, and with the same hand tears out the entrails; after which, with his left hand, he cuts off the fish's head. The splitter now seizes the fish by the left side of the neck, and opens it from the neck to the tail .after which he places it against a batten nailed on the table, and with a single stroke of his knife, if he can, he removes the back-bone from the vent upwards.
