It's worth mentioning that the logistics and engineering side of the Pollock/Surimi production was just as interesting. Paraphrasing the book from memory, https://www.amazon.com/Catching-Deckload-Dreams-Bundrant-Sea..., Trident initially contracted the Japanese and their method/machines to produce Surimi from Pollock, but eventually switched to German-made machines and a more efficient production line methodology they came up with themselves - I believe they used the Pollock not worthy of quick-freeze for the Surimi instead of dedicating a production line specific to it.
