Pump Hose Attatchment

This is the piece of equipment that attaches to the huge hoses that suck the herring from the holds of the herring boats. They add water to the fish and it creates a vacuum which sucks the herring out using the Transvac and pumps the herring into tanker trucks ashore.

Fantastic TV above the bar. Friendly service. I’d come back again for sure. There were several attractively priced lunch specials.
