Tim “Mac” McAllen won the Fishmonger Award in Atlanta again. There were 14 contestants – even processors from nearby Charlotte and Jacksonville. Mac has been with the company for only 5years, but has won the prize for the last 4 years.
Contestants were judged on the quality, and speed of their seafood processing. As you know, a lot of it is done with equipment (trust me, we don’t peel / bread 4M pounds of shrimp by hand), but it requires real skill and an artist’s touch.
“Yeah, well. The more you do it, the better you get, I guess.”
