Quay to freezer

Hours between landing and freezing, on the record.

Frozen squid usually sells with a boat name and no landing time, so buyers cannot tell how long the catch waited. Each lot here names its boat, landing time and freezer, and the landing-to-freezing interval is written on the line.
