HE Canadian Fish & Cold
Storage Company’s plant
is the largest Fish Cold
Storage in the world, and

the 4th largest of any description in
Canada. It operates 12 months of
the year and has an annual payroll
of $300,000.00. It handles about 20
million pounds of fish yearly, and
the constantly increasing output of
the plant shows that the food value
of fish is steadily becoming more and
more widely recognized. The vari-
clies handled are: fresh and frozen

fish—halibut, red spring salmon
cohoe salmon, pink salmon,  steel-
head salmon and qualla salmon,

black cod, red cod and ling cod,
brills, soles, flounders, skate and
herring, smoked fish, kippered her-
ring bloaters, black cod and salmon

of all grades. Salt fish—cod, herring
and salmon of all grades. The com-
pany owns a fleet of fishing vessels
and the plant is electrically operated.
The cold storage occupies a building
of six stories, containing 781,000 feet
of refrigerator space, and is equipped
with three ice tanks. It can manu-
facture 100 tons of ice daily, and has
an ice storage capacity of 2,000 tons,
apart from the main cold storage
building. Its cold storage capacity
is 7,000 tons. Many interesting freak
fish are to be seen here, and some
giants. Among the latter is a halibut
that weighs 346 pounds with its
head off and many others that tip
the scales at 250 pounds and over.
The plant is one of the show places
of Prince Rupert, and of special in-
terest to visitors who are always
extended a cordial welcome. ;
