  1. The seller announced a fresh batch of smoked whitefish and trout, smoked whitefish spread, fresh fillets, and pickled whitefish, then corrected the notice to say trout fillets had sold out and might return Friday. This is a first-party inventory notice, not a sales ledger or catch report.

  2. The first-party notice advertised fresh and smoked whitefish and trout, filets, and later smoked fish dip; the seller said new catches restored stock on May 27 and that fish remained available May 28. A reply placed the operation across from the lumber yard on Donegal Bay Road. This documents a seasonal commercial offering and location description, not catch volume, fishery status, or regulatory compliance.
