New Plan for Herring Fishery Aims to Outpace Competitors
A colonial-era proposal seeks a complete overhaul of the herring fishery, arguing half a million spent so far has failed. It promises to create vast seafaring employment, boost national wealth, and outstrip rival nations through a total system change. Instructions detail immediate onboard salting and careful processing to separate mature from immature herrings and avoid cross mixing. It also prescribes precise methods for handling salted fish including gut removal with sharp knives and minimal disruption of the fish toes.
