Bye bye bunker
REEDVILLE - Construction workers are finishing a $17 million food-grade fish-oil refinery on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay that could change the image and profitability of a bony fish once regarded as fit only for animal feed and industrial uses.
Omega Protein Corp., which began work on the 100 metric-ton-per-day refinery last year, has netted a contract with a Texas food processor that is adding Omega's fish oil to the tacos and tamales it makes for a 300,000-student school region in Texas
