Fish-holds
The Pacific Queen has two separate fishholds. One fishhold
is set at a temperature to perfectly chill your fish, so
that the crew can prepare it as you wish. The other fish-hold
is set at sub-zero temperatures that will allow you to transport
your fish frozen.
Gentle
Handling of Fish
The crew will be happy to cut you fish into fillets or steaks,
or remove its head, gill & gut. The cost for fish cleaning
varies with the size of the fish. Fish cleaning and crew gratuities
are not included in the price of the ticket. You will notice that
when the crew of the Pacific Queen place your fish into
dockside fish carts, the fish is never thrown or handled roughly,
thus preventing any bruising of the meat. From the time your fish
comes over the rail to the time it reaches the dock, it is handled
with utmost care.

diesel main engines (1100 total horsepower) and Capitol transmission
gearboxes to ensure excellent dependability and speed. We have

heat of the engine during transit, the other an osmosis system
that works both while underway and at anchor.)
