For the record, I inspect poultry in the market place (read: grocery stores). The inspection takes place inside the meat department cutting rooms.

Secondly, I have a 2nd job (part-time weekends) in the seafood industry.

I'm not well versed on meats. According to your description Gregor, I need to liken cutting meat to cutting wood: against the grain - that way, I'll never forget.
