In addition to Randy's report of very good fishing today, I am sending along some photos of a fine RSW stored catch from a couple of trips back. I have made many references to the quality of product anglers should expect when their voyage returns. These photos are a good example of that quality. In all the photos, the fish are fresh, held at thirty degrees Fahrenheit which is two degrees above the freezing point of seawater. It is cold enough to frost over the eyes and make the fish firm but not cold enough to freeze - perfect in our application. You can see a few rub marks from the fish shifting slightly in the tanks. This is normal and does not adversely affect the product quality unless the skin is broken. The bigger fish in these photos have been dressed out (gilled and gutted) which is beneficial to the end product in many ways. Most of the time, fish under twenty five pounds are stored whole. On Royal Star the exception for smaller fish would be if we plan to store the catch in RSW for more than five days. As we place an enormous emphasis on producing a premium quality product every voyage, these photos are a fine demonstration of what Royal Star anglers enjoy long after their voyage ends.
