the latter end
of the year Haddock.
Examination of
Mr..W<hi rend="underline">m</hi>.. Old Salmon
Factor.-
In what manner
are the fresh
fish packed &
conveyed? They
are packed in
boxes, Ice put
on them and
nailed down as
light as possible.
How long will
they keep packed
in that manner?
Till March or
April they will
keep eight or ten
days, unless there
happens to be remarkable
warm
weather; in Summer
they will
keep six days
from the first
packing, unless
it is very hot;
their keeping depends
very much
upon the quantity,
as a large quantity
keeps better than
a small one, the
Ice taking a longer
time to dissolve;
the Ice is first
pounded and freezes
into a solid mass.
The fish are packed
as soon as possible
after being brought
out of the water
---page break---
sometimes in two
hours, and sometimes
in longer
time.-
Has this mode
of packing been
used ever since
you have known
the Trade? I have
been in the trade
about thirty years,
and my Father
fifty or sixty years
before me, in that
time the mode
has been much
changed; the mode
of packing in Ice
has been only
introduced within
these fourteen or
fifteen years, formerly
they were
packed in Straw.
Has the quantity
of Salmon
brought fresh to
Market much
increased in consequence
of this
discovery?-Considerably;
formerly
we were obliged
to give up the
trade in fresh
fish in the
Month of April;
but now we
carry it on
through the
whole Season:
the Season ends
at different times
in different places;
the Berwick
lasts the longest
and ends 10th
October-

Can you form
any judgement
what proportion
of fish are spoiled?
A very small quantity
and that
in very hot
Weather; Salmon
is not a fish
which spoils
soon; and the
body of the fish
is often good
when the head
is destroyed; when
the fish used to
be packed in
Straw, a great
quantity of fish
was spoiled.
