The comment about freezer duty cycle was a bit tongue in cheek, which often doesn't translate in text. ( I r an en,ga,neer) haha. It does seem that the older equipment was designed with a much longer life cycle. As a kid my parents had a refrigerator and freezer that had been my dad's grandparents. The chest freezer lasted 40+ years, and the refrigerator was still going strong many years later when they finally "upgraded".
After the past couple of years of poor salmon runs I hadn't really considered shipping anything off. If this works as suspected it will, I was thinking about pre-freezing blocks of fish packages to ship. The only concern I had was with the time it would take for the entire block to freeze. Alternating frozen with fresh is a good idea to expedite the freezing time. Thanks again!! Will definitely be on the radar for next year.
Got me to thinking I might get me son to weld up a couple aluminum boxes just right to fit in a flat rate box after it is insulated. The fish would freeze quickly and could be added to over time and packaged and shipped when filled.
Hmmmmmmmm
