You can tell them from me that deboning and filleting (and once 
you've done that, how hard is the cleaning???) 100 pounds of salmon 
is like winning the lottery on your birthday compared to shelling 
even, say, 30 or 40 pounds of shrimp...

I'm not sure why this struck me the way it did; I'm not just dissing 
someone else's work habits. Let me think about this and get back to 
people. I think there may be some kind of Great Profound Thoughts 
(tm) on food preparation emerging... I think I may have to reexamine 
the "Just Shut Up and Do It" principle of industrial food service.

Keep watching the skies!
