Bul. 908, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. PLATE XIV. 
Fic. I.—FISH FAR TOO HEAVILY FLAKED. 
The fish can not be properly dried when so thick, and when roughly and carelessly pulled apart 
they are greatly marred and damaged as they are packed. 
Fig. 2.—FISH SO THICKLY FLAKED THAT THEY BECOME GLUED TOGETHER IN 
DRYING. 
Entire sections of fish of this size and larger could be removed from flake. Note transverse cracks 
on fish caused by excessive salting. (Castine fish.)
