, goes through its own six-stage preparation process before it can be added to the pie.

Potatoes

are the first ingredient to be prepared on the production line. They are delivered to the factory up to a month before the process begins, and they must be cleaned, peeled and sliced. Potato peelings are thrown away, and the sliced

potatoes

are boiled,

then

chilled and stored. When fresh salmon arrives at the factory, lemon juice and salt are added, and the

fish

is cooked in a steam oven within 12 hours of delivery.

Next,

factory workers remove and dispose of the skin and bones, and the

fish

is inspected. Following inspection, pre-prepared peas, sauce and

potatoes

are added. The resulting

fish

pies are wrapped, frozen and

then

stored or dispatched.
