Identify bottle / sign and offer a date?

Marriage certificate for Grandfather has arrived today, at the time of marriage in 1931 he was listed as a fish worker.  I'm not sure this leads us anywhere particularly useful in this instance!

Ummm.... cod liver oil comes from ?

Queries about my grandfathers occupation - he was listed as a fish worker on his own marriage certificate in 1931 and on my parents marriage certificate from the 70's he is listed as deceased, but occupation was 'fish bobber' which I'm led to believe is pretty much the same thing.  My immediate reaction when someone suggested Seven Seas was the same as Nick's - one of excitement that there was a link between his work and Seven Seas of some kind, however he worked at the dock and didn't own the trawlers... 

There is no definite link but hopefully identifying the event in the picture might lead me somewhere!  I will see if the Hull Daily Mail shows any interest, I've emailed Seven Seas and wait to hear back - it's an unusual request to put to them, so it depends who it ends up landing with and what sort of day they are having on the response I get I think!!

The term "fish bobber" was fairly specific to the Hull area and was someone who unloaded fish fromthe trawlers.

Thanks behindthefrogs, I hadn't looked into that yet - that sounds spot on from the general impression I've been getting from my family about what he did.  Really appreciated.

the work description and the building we're talking about on the outskirts of Hull, just passed the village of Marfleet on Hedon Road, are both linked to the fish industry.

When we came to live in Lancashire I always thought of that building when shopping in my local supermarket and reached up to buy a jar of their mussels.

Can anyone make out the image on the tie of the gentleman at the very front? It may be a company tie.

The lady may also have appeared in a number of the company's advertising promotions.

Re the bottle with something sticking out of the top.

Could it be a stopper not pushed all the way in because either the bottle originally had a cork or the lid has been lost? I am thinking of a stopper similar to the ones you can get today for wine bottles 

Not sure why the woman is in the picture - unless she is related to the man behind who is holding her waist - seems a bit unusual for a group photo with only one female amongst so many men. Unless she was the only female working there but that brings up another question.

Are the men all at work and not on an outing?
