REFRIGERATION AND FREEZING OF FISH 357 



culling for size should be done. Some shippers first wrap the fish in parchment 

 paper, which somewhat retards defrosting and rust and gives the packages a 

 better appearance. Boxes should be filled as full as possible to prevent abrasion 

 due to shifting of the contents. No ice is put in the boxes. About four-fifths as 

 many pounds of small fish can be packed in a box when individually frozen as 

 when frozen in cakes. 



Winter-caught fish (fish that have been caught in very cold weather, principally 

 in Canadian lakes, and allowed to freeze in the cold air on the ice where they 

 are caught) are often packed, in snow. This protects them against damage in 

 shipment, and prevents desiccation. While the fish are in the snow, however, 

 they are not so readily seen and judged for quality.
