Not consistent, but maybe a couple times a day for the rest of the week you's smell fish. if there was a yuck face icon I'd use a couple of them.
I did get to see a rare sight - A seagull not being able to keep some bit of fish down.

There were a few others that were hot or otherwise unpleasant, but nothing close to that.

I just spent a week at a large fish processor in Kodiak. The process is probably a little different than you describe, but I'm sure had fairly similar work environments to where I was. I actually don't mind the fish stuff much... Now beef/poultry/pork, that's a different story!
