Fish Processing

Coolers for your fish: A cooler weighs about 250 pounds when it is full with 55 fish and ice (I am referring to the big white coolers). It is better to split the fish between two coolers. 25 fish and ice in one cooler weighs about 125 pounds.

Ice: Bring all the ice you can fit into your coolers. We will use some of the ice on the boat as we catch the fish. Every fish that is caught is bled and placed in a 55-gallon can with ice. Fish stay on ice until processing. After processing, they are placed in your coolers with ice for transporting home. 

The key to good fish processing is "ICE."

The fish must be kept on ice every step of the way. 

We can help.

We love to see a job well done, and we love even more to be the ones to help do a good job. We can help every step of the way or just as much as you would like.

This price is derived of  an average of the incoming weight. We needed to simplify our pricing  process. Instead of charging $2.00 per pound on incoming weight we now will charge $5 per fish to Vacuum pack your Fish. This includes cutting, filleting, and vacuum packing with some help from you.
