Only 5 per cent of the users suggested any new 

 portion items, not now available, which they 

 would like to have. 



Y. Wonusers of Portions (Table 32) 



EstablishmentE which used frozen processed sea 

 food, but not portions, gave a number of reasons 

 for not buying portions: they served other types 

 of fish, they sold comparatively little fish, 

 they used fresh fish. 



E. Suppliers of Frozen Processed Sea Food 

 (Tables 33, 3'*, 35, 361 



Establishments in New York tended to buy frozen proc- 

 essed sea food from a variety of suppliers. The 

 suppliers were usually less than ten miles from the 

 establishments, and made weekly deliveries. Establish- 

 ments as a rule were satisfied with the services of 

 the suppliers. 



Sea food wholesalers supplied UO per cent of the estab- 

 lishments, while frozen food distributors accounted for 

 another 28 per cent. Some of the smaller establishments 

 used such suppliers as supennarketB and groceries . 



Main suppliers were located less than ten miles from 

 the establishment. In 8l per cent of the cases. 



In a little more than half the cases, deliveries were 

 made once a week. 



Only a small percentage of the purchasers said they 

 could think of ways In which the suppliere coulfl improve 

 their services. 



Expenditures for Frozen Pr essed Sea Food; 

 Its Prcfi'.ability (Tables j7, 38) 



Two fifths of the establishments reporting in New York 

 said that they spent less than $250 for frozen processed 

 sea food during the preceding twelve months. The figures 

 ranged upward to $100,000 and over, with the median com- 

 ing at $383. 



Somewhat more than half of the profit-making establish- 

 ments which expressed an opinion, considered frozen 

 processed sea food more profitable than other hl^ pro- 

 tein foods. 



G. Government Inspection of Frozen Processed Sea 

 Food - Awareness, Effect, and Attitudes 

 (Tables 39, UO, Ul, k2) 



Two thirds of the establishments in New York 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 sajiie amount, or that they did not know. 



Nine tenths of the establishments, who were aware that 

 they could buy Government inspected or graded sea food, 

 said that they had bought some. When purchasers were 

 asked if the inspection had affected the amount of 

 frozen processed sea food which they bought, 5 per 

 cent said the inspection had caused them to buy more.
