Catch comes in ... Catch Ships out. Prince Rupert's Canadian Fish Plant a busy place these last few days

The Canadian Fish Plant on George Hills Way is just one of a number of busy fish plants harvesting the latest returns from the North Pacific waters, with the loading bay for the Canadian Fish facility among the busiest in the city at the moment.

Trucks were backed up two to three deep at the back bay of the Rushbrook approach area this afternoon awaiting their turn at the loading dock to take the catch from recent days to point south.

Trucks are lined up and awaiting their loads as activity at
the Canadian Fish Plant ramps up through July
