The U.S. MERC
MUKTUK JACK SAYS...
Due to a misunderstanding
by the whaling company in British Co
lumbia, we did not receive the muktuk expected,,
which was the true thick muktuk. The whaling
company, no doubt thinking they were doing us
a favor, sent us Muktuk with thin skin and thick
blubber. i
Everyone
involved, including the shipper, and The
Merc, regret this error.
The Shipper
Washington Fish & Oyster Co., of Seattle,
has made an adjustment on the price, and we will
sell the Muktuk at
85cLb..
Incidentally,
the bluibber is very firm and tasty. I
believe it will work out fine for pickling.
So, We’ll
be seeing you soon at The Merc!
