Port Clinton Fish Co uses a commercial scaler, while the others are using "tumblers". The difference in wait time is A LOT, due to the speed of the scalers.

The commercial scaler zips the perch right through, so they can start cutting right away. The tumblers take 20 minutes or longer, depending on how many fish are in it. For this reason alone, I have been using PC Fish for my customer's perch.

My customers usually walk over to the Fisherman's Wharf to shop around, and by the time they come out... the fish are done.
