Wares

a raw shark fillet - 550gp
A slab of meat, carved from the flank of a great shark, lies here wholly unprepared. Dark gray skin still surrounds the flesh, its tiny denticles tugging at anything it touches. Pale striations run throughout, indicative of quality and taste should it be cooked correctly. A sharp, ammoniac scent rises from the fillet, which remains coated in a foul, greasy slime, warding off any but the most desperate or adventurous.
a grilled shark fillet - 1200gp
A thick slab of meat, carved from the flank of a great shark, rests on a plate of hardened seaweed. Marbled striations run perpendicular to blackened bars seared into its surface, stark white amidst the pale pink flesh. A few slices of lemon lie to one side of the plate, offering a tart complement to the otherwise unseasoned dish. The rich green, pale pink, and bright yellow all combine into a pleasantly sophisticated presentation, a mark of the chef's culinary skill.
a vial of pufferfish toxin - 7500gp
Stoppered and sealed with wax, this stocky flat-bottomed vial has little to recommend it. Not much more than a fist-sized square of perfectly transparent glass, the only true adornment upon its surface is the distinctive likeness of a inflated pufferfish carved into its side, the curious image highlighted with black ink.
a rope of woven kelp - 250gp
A great deal of disparate green-brown fronds of maritime seagrass have been woven together to form the luxurious twines of this hardy and unyielding length of rope. Looped time and again into a large coil, this dried mass has been wound for easy transport and handling.
