I never heard of a "raw fish tax" before.
But if that's the only thing around, I suppose that's what they have to tax.

Whoa....13% of the town is laid off.

This company does not make especiall good stuff. Pelican Seafoods packs a 4 ounce can of fish and you'll often bite down on a feather. Major QC issues.

Pelican seafood factory? I thought pelicans caught their own seafood. No wonder it went under...pelicans aint' goin for it!

Bottom of the barrel for bad economic news. Is the
city responsible for it's tax policy.
