splitter nA third doryman, the most skilled member of the team took the headless and gutless fish from the 'liverer,' and with one blow of a big square-bladed knife, split it so that it lay open to the tail, on its back. Then he cut the upper half of the backbone out, with two further strokes, and pushed the split and cleaned cod into the vat of running sea-water to be washed. He was the 'splitter', and that was the team - throater, liverer, splitter.PRINTED ITEM G.M.Story JUN 1970JH JUN 1970Used I and SupUsed I and SupNot usedspilter, SHOREMAN, SPLITTING KNIFE, splitter's mitt
