In large seafood distribution operations, frozen tuna is often packed tightly inside freezer trucks to maximize space and maintain consistent low temperatures. But when one fish shifts, it can set off a chain reaction where the entire stack begins to move.
This happens because the frozen surface develops a thin layer of ice, which significantly reduces friction between each fish. Combine that with a slightly angled truck floor—designed for drainage—and you get a natural sliding effect. A single push is enough to trigger movement, allowing gravity to do most of the work.
While it might look chaotic, it’s actually a controlled and efficient unloading method, turning heavy, rigid cargo into something that can be moved quickly with minimal effort.
