A factory, facility, or workplace where fish are processed, prepared, or manufactured into products.
From Old English 'fisc' + 'works' from Old English 'weorc.' The term became common with industrialization and factory systems.
Japanese fishworks pioneered the concept of zero-waste processing—using every part of the fish for different products (food, fertilizer, medicine) in ways that inspired circular economy thinking.
