Day eighty six

Dolphinfish is not a dolphin!

It was an easy day today. We had seafood class and management class.

First in the morning we have management class and we were talking about training. Who should ideally train people in a team (direct supervisor) and different types of training, as well as problems associated with a training.

Seafood class was good. Each of the three teams have different fish to fabricate. Our team has mahi-mahi (actually we have three of them for six people). Mahi-mahi is also called dolphinfish, however it has
no relation to a dolphin. It was quite big fish around 20 pounds and we got 11 pounds of fillets. The fish itself is not very convenient to cut, may be because of big size. Also there were some difficulties to get through ribs. However it was done and we portioned it for 6 oz pieces (portion cuts).

Other team have: halibut - a huge fish for a team of five, and another team have lean cod - relatively small fish (as to compare to ours). Close to the end we realized that we still have some fish to cut and we finished all of it.

We are still waiting for a skate. It suppose to be here on Monday, but on Monday it's difficult to get a fresh fish, so we hoped for Tuesday, then Wednesday. May be tomorrow it will be here.
