Thousands of trawlers in the 1950s heyday used to set-off from Hull for the distant waters around Iceland, Norway and Greenland to hunt for haddock and cod – the fish favoured by those frequenting fish and chip shops in Britain – but the Kirkella is now the only UK boat to patrol those waters. To ensure the best yield, quality and profit for its catch, UK Fisheries chose exclusively Velfag machinery for the heading, filleting and skinning of the fish, based on their experience and performance, from the old Kirkella, fitted with among other Brands ,1 Velfag filleting machine.
