[There is no] ambergris. It has never shown up anywhere in the country. The ground does not allow it, being only mud and sand. There is no knowledge of there ever being any manatee. We do not fish for porpoises although all the banks of the rivers are full of them because there is no shortage of fish present in large quantities at all times. It is not known if there are sea bears. The whole Mississippi country is full of oysters. There are banks of them 4 to 5 leagues long. It?s a great pleasure in life. It is also used to make lime. There are clams like many places but larger and very excellent to eat. We also make very good lime from this shell which is very common. There are throughout the country a quantity of extraordinarily big and large mussels that are perfectly good to eat. There are some on Dauphine Island, almost 4 to 5 inches long, which makes us believe that they are everywhere. The whole country of Louisiana in general is full of fish in whatever places it may be. It seems that there is no country like it for fishing.We haven't wasted time verifying if they can be salted or not, since they are too abundant to bother about it.We cannot accurately describe the quality here, nor the species being too numerous and all the fish different from those found on our European coasts. We can only assure you that in general they are all very excellent. Travellers who have been in the country for a long time can be consulted to give more details about the interior of the rivers. I am only talking here about the coast and the bottom of the rivers where they meet the sea.

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.
