What is a seafood processor?

A seafood processor is someone who works on a fishing vessel to convert fish into sellable products. As a seafood processor, you are in charge of the sorting and preparation of fish. You also inspect them to ensure that they are of the highest quality, check their weight, and then run the viable catch through machinery. Depending on the company, you may also be in charge of cutting cuts of fish, usually into a fillet. You also clean and trim them for sale. After the fish has gone through the initial cleaning, you pack the product for market or for sale to a dealer, typically by storing them in a freezer onboard.
