When considerd, really, there are many industries connected with fishing. For instance, to make a box to contain bloaters, requires a block of wood, then the labour in cutting the wood to a certain thickness, then nailing it(without the lid) all ready to put the fish in. Most of the box-making, at least for fish, is done at the port, where the fish are brought in. Jewson is the main box-making firm at Yarmouth, but the fish shops sometimes make their own.

The ship building done at Lowestoft is the hardest job, because it needs more men to build a ship than it does to make a box. To preserve the fish they are salted and placed in ice. Years ago ice was brought from the Norfolk Broads in Winter, but now it has to be made; so on board (or in port) there must be refrigerated fish-holds.

Net making is done by women called "beatsters". When the fish are tinned or canned it is done by either Morton or C.W.S. firms.
