majority of users considered them less expen- 

 sive, or rated them about the same. 



6. Miscellaneous Findings About Portions 

 (Tables 30, 31) 



A heavy majority of Omaha establishments said 

 they specified the kind of fish when ordering 

 portions . 



Only 5 per cent of the users suggested any new 

 portion items, not now available, which they 

 would like to have. 



7. Nonusers of Portions (Table 32) 



Establishments which used frozen processed sea 

 food, but not portions, gave a number of rea- 

 sons for not buying portions: they served 

 other types of fish, the size of the portions 

 was not suitable, they sold compartively 

 little fish. 



E. Suppliers of Frozen Processed Sea Food 

 (Tables 33, 3'*, 3^, 36T 



Establishments in Omaha tended to buy frozen processed 

 sea food from sea food wholesalers, usually less than 

 ten miles away, to have it delivered once a week, and to 

 be satisfied with the services of the suppliers. 



Sea food wholesalers supplied 79 per cent of the estab- 

 lishments, while frozen food distributors accounted for 

 another lit per cent. 



Main suppliers were located less than 10 miles from the 

 establishment, in 90 per cent of the cases. In more 

 than half the cases, deliveries were made once a week. 



Only a small fraction of t' e purchasers said they could 

 think of ways in which the suppliers could improve their 

 services. 



Expenditures for Frozen Processed Sea Food; 

 Its Profitability (Table 37, W 



More than half of the establishments reporting in Omaha 

 said that they spent less than $250 for frozen processed 

 sea food during the preceding twelve months. The high- 

 est figure reported fell between $30,000 and $1*9,999. 

 The median came at $226. 



Three fourths of the profit-making establishments which 

 expressed an opinion, considered frozen processed sea 

 food more profitable than other high protein foods. 



Government Inspection of Frozen Processed Sea 

 Food - Awajeness, Effect, and Attitudes 

 (Tables 39, '*0, n, k2) 



More than three fourths of the establishments in Omaha 

 were aware that they could buy frozen processed sea 

 food, which had been inspected or graded by the United 

 States Government. 



Of those who were unaware, a small number said they 

 would buy more sea food if Government inspected sea 

 food were available. Most said they would buy about 

 the same amount, or that they did not know. 



Of the establishments aware that they could buy 

 Government inspected or ji^aded sea food, almost all 

 h^d bought some. When purchasers were asked if the 

 inspection had affected the amount of frozen processed 

 sea food which they bought, k per cent said the in- 

 spection nad caused them to buy more.
