Tuna Processing Plant

Scott works with the Micronesian Maritime Police and was lucky enough to get the opportunity to look through the Tuna Processing Plant that is nearby to his work. The tuna boats unload every day and seeing it for the first time was pretty impressive. It is pretty much straight from the boats freezer, into an ice-slurry, straight to the processing plant were it is graded and then boxed an onto an out-bound plane to Japan. Takes less than two hours.
