    Processing of the fish

    One of the fisherman started processing the fish. That attracted a hoard of pelicans and sea lions.
    As a first pass, he cut the head off of all the fish and threw each one of them in the sea. This would create a feeding frenzy in the water nearby with the sea lions and the pelicans, all going after the loot. Even the normally shy heron was sitting near the fisherman waiting for a chance to get some handouts.
    In the second pass, he cut open the gut and threw it in the sea. The third pass was slicing of the upper scales and cutting of the tail.
