Could be 2-4 guys in one truck on tuna trip to Westport.
Many not getting loined, as half are likely going to cannery. Well mine that is.
Do the math how many 150 quarts would we need vs one of these
I was actually told one of these would be suitable for 2-3 guys
Was as going to pack this for whole fish and a couple of 150's for loins and snacks.

Fish going to cannery have to be whole and frozen at sea now, if it wasn't the case I'd fillet them all.
I assume you're planning on taking them to a cannery up in BC - no? Last I heard, Merlino's seafood (the cannery in Westport) was full up and was not taking any more fish for canning. BTW - they will cark your tuna there but they are VERY expensive - $9/tuna. Also, they will vacuum pack but they charge by the pound and I think it's about $1.35/lb for vacuum packing. Someone who went out with me took their one (1, count-'em 1) fish over there to get it cleaned and vacuum packed. They paid about $23!

Any tuna to processors must be pre-frozen and head on... Food quality issues!!
Our tuna was $4 per fish to carc, well worth it. We averaged out at 18 tuna each in 1 day (of two day trip, but stopped early as boat was FULL). I'm not sure 150 L coolers would hold 18 fish whole, I think it would be alot more space required.
I canned on my own (first time) can get canner for $150 that will hold 20 pint jars - simple to do with the loins. Couple hours of time and 20 min effort - would can about 4 tuna worth of loins (15-16 loins).

The cannery will not accept any carced tuna,dropped off my tuna off at Saint Jeans after the shootout, they are so flooded with sockeye that they are also not accepting salmon that have no already been cleaned (gutted)

Yup, head on guts in, i was told by the front counter lady ,no loin, or beheaded fish accepted, due to contamination risk in the plant
