Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide rigid (hard-sided) ice packs that include contours configured to cooperate with whole fish, as harvested. The contours allow the fish to have close contact with surfaces of the ice pack while also protecting the fish from being bruised, crushed, deformed, or otherwise damaged during storage or transportation.

Abstract: A container evacuation system is provided for viscous flowable materials such as grease, paste or flowable powders. The container system includes a lightweight, rigid exterior, such as a cardboard container. Provided within the container is a flexible containment system constructed of polyethylene sheets or the like. The flexible containment system is provided with a plurality of weldments to create at least two pockets, wherein one pocket contains the flowable material and a second pocket is available to be filled with air, to allow air provided to the second pocket to force the flowable material from the first pocket out through a drain. The system includes a weldment which curves around at least a portion of the drain to crease a funnel which focuses flowable material toward the drain, while reducing the likelihood of a portion of the flexible containment system from obstructing the movement of flowable material out of the first pocket through the drain.
