Talley's deep sea factory freezer trawlers are all approximately 60 to 70 metres in length and go to sea for six weeks at a time with a crew of around 35 men and women. They process fish into fillets within hours of being caught, processing the catch onboard to customers specifications - frozen-at-sea fillet, block or head and gutted form. Onboard fishmeal plants process the waste product so everything is utilised.
