splitting table

splitting table
a table in a stage, q.v., where cod or salmon are processed before salting and drying in Newfoundland. The table is about 4 feet by 6 feet and has 1-2 semi-circular cutouts where the splitters processed the fish, the cutout allowing the fish to be worked at an angle as the backbone was removed. Next to the cutouts is a cleat, or small strip of wood, used to steady the fish as it was being split
