“It would be wonderful if all the salmon we eat could be wild. But as one marine ecologist said to me recently, to continue to eat large wild fish at the rate we've been eating them we would need "four or five" oceans to support the crrent human population.”
“There were large and small ones too. And some quite in-between. But all of equal nastiness.And smelliness and ghastliness.For they would eat a fellow up, as one might fish and chips”
“I wished we had milk – milk for strong bones. Dylan said he would eat the fish bones if I would quit talking about milk.”
“If wishes were fishes, even beggars would eat”
“But the wild things cried, “Oh please don't go- We'll eat you up- we love you so!”
“Thus, gentlemen, though an inlander, Steelkilt was wild-ocean born, and wild-ocean nurtured; as much of an audacious mariner as any.”
