Presentation of CPAP

Compagnie Générale des Pêches Maritimes et d'Approvisionnement en Poissons (Maritime Fishing and Fish Supply Company) was granted in 1921-1924 the concession for the exploitation of the deep-freezing system in the port of Lorient.

In 1912, the Danish fish exporter Ottesen invented a fish perservation system that is considered as the base of modern deep-freezing. Lorient was the first fishing port in France to adopt the new method; in 1922, 1,800 tons of fish could be freezed every day, a capacity that was increased in 1927 to 15,000 tons. Deep-freezed fish was transported by special "fish trains", operated by the Paris-Orléans railway company, from all the Breton ports to the main French towns and even to Switzerland and Italy.
The Ottesen system was validated on 17 March 1926 by a State Commission that acknowledged that deep-freezed fish looked and tasted [and probably smelled!] better than the average fresh fish sold in Paris.
