So you, uh, to be able to prepare the fish for the auction, uh, you have to get up really early and, and, and, and clean the fish and, and make it ready for those, the styrofoam boxes and send, and then it goes to the auction.

23:29
Whereas a vineyard is still, but the seasons are moving around it.
