...Clearwater Seafoods Clearwater Seafoods had distinguished itself in the seafood market by focusing on and maintaining a supreme product quality. Clearwater first came up with new technologies to help them harvest more efficiently, then they invented and patented technologies used to test, freeze, label and deliver products in a way none of their competitors were able to mimic. That gave Clearwater relative advantage by saving time and providing guaranteed fresh seafood, which is a hard task in their case because of long transportation hours needed to reach buyers. Moreover, their greatest challenge was that most of their work was Business-to-Business, which meant more time till products reached end users and lack of control over the quality of products delivered. Using the new technologies, i.e. harvest time stamps and labeling, end users were satisfied with the guaranteed freshness of the product they are buying, thus they were willing to pay a higher price for it. This way Clearwater guaranteed their customers to never be served other than what they ordered, avoiding what a study found is frequently happening in seafood restaurants (Johnson, 2013). Similar to any company, Clearwater was aiming to expand its operations and reach out to new customers. The management of Clearwater was able to get the company to its current position by targeting major markets with large seafood demand and studying them to find entry strategies. As a result Clearwater had entered the Chinese...

...Kyle Kisling April 7th, 2013 Composition 1 Food and Family Food holds a special place in society. Aside from its obvious purpose of survival, food also is a great way to bring people together. The first real example I can provide is the common celebration of Thanksgiving. The day has no real significance other than eating food with family. A turkey is placed at the center of the table, football provides entertainment, and family members enjoy the company of one another. I feel like some people underappreciate the true value of food and the cultural reunions it creates. Though not all countries celebrate Thanksgiving, food still carries an important role in countries all over the world. The first documentary we watched was called Smokin’ Fish. The film went into deep investigation of the culture of Cory Mann. The title alone should give away the idea that food is somewhat involved in Cory’s culture. Cory is an entrepreneur who annually returns to his home village for a few months to catch fish from the river and smoke them. Initially, I questioned his motives when he simply abandons his business and returns home to fish. It came off as strange because most people are not willing to risk their financial security to go fishing for a few months. The film continues on and as it progresses you see that smoking fish carries a much deeper meaning to Cory. Cory is part Indian and smoking fish is a tradition his peoples have had for centuries. He feels as though it is his duty...

...Evaluation of Red Lobster Restaurant My overall opinion of Red Lobster is very high. Seafood is one of my favorite foods and after visiting Red Lobster, I must say that I was extremely impressed and satisfied with the quality and the taste of the food. Also, the restaurant was very clean and inviting while the staff was more than helpful while taking my. The waitress was courteous and was always eager to refill my drink As I entered Red lobster, I was greeted at the front door with a friendly hello ' and after only a ten minute wait, I was seated at a comfortable and clean table. The waitress politely asked if I would like her to get my drink and she insisted that she would be back in only a few minutes with my drink. True to her word, she returned with a cold class of Coca Cola and she asked if I would like a few minutes more to look over the menu I told the waitress that I was ready to give my and she smiled as she asked if I would like a salad with my meal. I felt that the staff at Red Lobster was unbeatable and I would recommend my friends to this restaurant because of the excellent service that I received from the waitress The same waitress brought out a fresh garden salad with an oil and vinegar dressing which was superb and before I even finished my salad she returned with a steaming plate of lobster and crab legs The plate of food looked very appetizing to the eyes and the smell of the food was extraordinary. I was given a small , wet napkin by the same waitress...

...Green washing in the Commercial Seafood Industry Dave Mangus Milwaukee Area Technical College The subject of my planned report is greenwashing in the seafood industry. Using several articles from the NPR, Earth Island, World Wildlife Foundation, and SeaWeb I plan to convey my opinion on this matter. My basic approach to this topic will be to explain greenwashing, greenmailing, and the view points from the opposition and the rebuttal from the MSC and possibility of the shrimp industry if I can find their responses to the claims. I am reserving the right to add sources to my list as required to provide more examples to support my position. Also I am reserving the right tighten or broaden the focus of this report to keep it manageable. I.E. it could be the overall seafood industry or I may just focus on the MSC and NPR prospective. Another piece to my paper is going to focus on the demand for sustainable certified products and the stress put on the MSC program to supply this demand thru questionable practices of calling it sustainable, when in some cases only the promise to do things better in five to ten years seems to be all that is required for the sticker. I also plan to include the market response to some of the certified sustainable items that don’t pass the common sense test. I also plan to list the MSC guidelines for sustainable fisheries and question how certain things can be certified sustainable by them, when their own guidelines say it isn’t. My intent isn’t...

But just those few along are the bread and butter of the southern culture. After visiting Bonefish Grill for the first time several years ago, this has been listed as one of the many places you can get a quality southern style meal.

Get to know the different types of reels including a spinning, spincasting, and a baitcasting reel. Understand the factors you need to consider when buying a fishing reel. In this article, we’ll share with you some features you need to look for in a fishing reel. At the same time, we’ll give you an overview on the Shimano Symetre 2500 including its pros and cons. The Symetre 1500 is a light-duty spinning reel with an open face design that allows you to extend a good casting on any given condition. Let’s take a closer look at the Shimano Symetre 2500 review later on. What to Look for in a Fishing Reel In any fishing expedition, a successful catch can be attributed to the type of fishing reel, rod, and line used. It also depends on the type of species you are trying to lure that will help determine the right type of fishing reel you need to use. This is why it is important for you to identify the factors before buying a fishing reel. 1. Fishing reel There are three kinds of reels, a spinning, spincasting, and baitcasting reel.

...IDK YET The world’s waters are filled with millions of fish, but only a small fraction have been discovered and identified. Some date back to ancient times, while others are considered to be more modern. Even though some species of fish may have extreme differences from each other, they all contain diets that require specific nutrients in order to carry out healthy life. When identifying fish one must look for significant traits or behaviors that the fish may contain. A carp is identified by the single barbel located at each corner of the mouth. Meanwhile, the mirror carp can be spotted by their large scales that can flake off. Determining the difference between the bullhead and catfish may seem a little tricky, but if one looks close enough, the differences can easily be found. The bullhead has a visible rounded tail, and the catfish has a forked tail. Not only are fish identified by the shapes of their tails, but also by the shapes of their mouths. For instance a largemouth bass would be found with a large upper jaw that extends past the eye of the fish, and the buffalo contains a downturned mouth with thick lips. Fish can also sometimes be identified by an opercular flap. A blue gill has solid black opercular flap placed on its side, while the greenfish, who closely resembles the bluegill, has a black opercular flap outlined with either a white or yellow edge. Redear fish can also be identified by their black opercular flap with a red edge. Other traits that can...

...strengths, and minimize their weaknesses more efficiently. Ruby Tuesday: Strengths First I will start off with the positive side of the story. Ruby Tuesday has many strengths as a restaurant. One of the first strengths that stand out about Ruby Tuesday is the food. The restaurants serve American food, which many people in America tend to like to eat. There are quite a few restaurants in this same category across America today, yet somehow Ruby Tuesday seems to stand apart from the rest. The food that they serve plays a few parts in this, some of which I will discuss later as they are weaknesses for the company as well as strengths. Ruby Tuesday has an extensive menu that covers everything from hamburgers and fries to steaks and fresh seafood choices. Having a menu so diverse helps the company in broadening their...
