Not sure how this would revolutionize anything, dint get me wrong more processing is better but isn't all frozen round a step into the past?

I am going to open a saltery next year and put salted fish in a wooden barrel. Likely to get US gov't money for this project. Message me for details.

Bristol Bay processing is consolidating. A new small player cannot compete with the economics/low costs of Silver Bay. If you can't compete with their manufacturing economics, then you better have a real niche program that sets you apart from SBS and the other big boys. This program really doesn't present anything unique, other than transporting the product on the same barge that produced it. There is a pretty good chance that the taxpayer will be picking up the loan guarantee.

We hear the floating processor Cape Greig might no longer work in Bristol Bay.

Can anyone confirm?
