Fish from the Mississippi River and Coast. We find at the bottom of this river towards its mouth a large quantity of sandbanks which are populated by an infinity of gray sardes and of which it would be easy to make good salt fisheries if the inhabitants of the colony were able to go fishing. We could even prepare some of these fish dry, the use of which would be no less good than that of the dried cod of New England and Carolina. We still find in the same river on other banks, three species of oysters which are excellent. The biggest ones can only be eaten in two or three batches. The smallest ones like those of Lower Normandy and Brittany and the others are average. Bars, mullets and eels are also found in quantity in the same river.
