Post by Drummer EdAnyone know where I can purchase canned or bottled seal meat in/around
St. John's?
Ed, or anyone, for the love of all that's holy, if you're planning to
ship this, make sure it's packed properly. 8)
Here's an example of why it's important...
In June, we travelled to attend our daughter's wedding - my wife was to
do the cake as well.
Someone travelling on the same plane had a box full of rabbit guts,
mussels and fish. These were all in glass mason jars. And the foolish
git "packed" them into a cardboard box with no other packing.
Of course, this box was put on top of a large suitcase of ours with new
clothes, wedding gifts and cake making equipment. And of course, with
the irresponsible means by which the owner of this box had "packed" it,
most of the jars broke and spent the three hours in flight leaking all
over this suitcase, plus a suitbag with suits/dresses in it.
I really didn't appreciate having this moron's fish juice all over our
stuff and having to frantically pull everything out of the suitcases in
the baggage pick up at Toronto all because someone was fucking stupid
and inconsiderate enough to put unpacked glass jars full of filthy
steaming shit in a cardboard box. West Jet bought us a new suitcase on
the spot and paid for the drycleaning that had to be done.
Unfortunately, in the confusion, all the cake decorating supplies were
lost at the airport and of course we didn't realize it until the
afternoon two days before the wedding when my wife started to bake the
cakes.
So anyway, just a little story for anyone planning to send fish to the
mainland...
