Description
David and Samuel Davis's patent solves an issue with how frozen fish were packed for shipment, often leaving them broken. "In order to obviate such loss this invention is produced; and it consists in freezing several fish in pans of the proper shape, and in such manner that a series of such cakes will fill a cask or box when packed for transportation, and kept at or below the freezing-point, and when arrived at their destination, the cask or box can be opened and a single frozen cake taken from the package to be disposed of without in any way disturbing any other cake in the package." (Patent Number 161,596)
