canneries

Fish processing plants

Canneries is the plural of cannery, a factory where food is preserved in cans or jars.

The word evokes an industrial era of food processing: She worked in the salmon canneries of Alaska.

Cannery Row, John Steinbeck's novel, takes its title from the sardine canneries of Monterey, California.
