File No. 000-51197
Dear Mr. Goldberg:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following
comments.
Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in
response
to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your
explanation.
In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise
additional
comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect
of
our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed
at
the end of this letter.
Available Information, page 3
1. Please revise to provide the current address of the Public
Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549.
Description of Business, page 4
2. We note the disclosure of your principal suppliers on page 10.
Please revise to clarify if those parities are members of the
First
Nations groups.
3. We note your additional disclosure on page 11 that you "intend
to
use [your] prior established contacts in the industry to
facilitate
the above services." Please revise to disclose any discussions or
understandings you have with buyers or sellers about utilizing
your
services.
4. We note the disclosure on page 16 states that the "First
Nations
openings" account for 3-5 percent of the total harvest of various
types of seafood products. Please discuss if it is possible for
the
First Nations groups with which you have contacts with to utilize
any
other companies that would be considered your competitors.
5. If applicable, please provide the disclosure required by Item
101(b)(6) of Regulation S-B.
6. Please revise to update the status of your licensing
applications
discussed on page 17.
Management`s Plan of Operation and Analysis of Results of
Operations
and Financial Condition, page 19
7. We note the disclosure of professional fees incurred in the
first
quarter of this year. Please revise to clarify what those fees
relate to and if such fees will be a recurring expense.
8. In the fourth milestone on page 22, we note that you have
received
verbal commitments from certain First Nations fishermen that they
will supply products at the "prevailing market rates." Please
revise
to reconcile that with your disclosure on page 8 that one of the
advantages with working with the First Nations groups is that they
are able to provide products at a lower price.
Risk Factors, page 23
9. In risk factor eight, please revise both the subheading and
narrative to simply state that there is no trading market for your
shares.
Part F/S
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page 46
10. We noted your response to our comment 28 from our letter dated
May 13, 2005. Your audited 2004 financial statements include
columns
on pages 48 and 50, headed, Audited May 21, 2003 (Inception)
through
December 31, 2004 (which appears consistent with SFAS 7). These
columns are not opined upon in the accompanying auditor`s report.
We
are reissuing our initial comment and reiterate that your
independent
auditors (Franklin Griffith & Associates) must opine on these
columns
in their audit report, or make reference in the first paragraph to
the audit reports of other auditors from which they relied upon,
whose report is attached. Please advise your auditors to revise
their report accordingly.
General
11. Please revise to include comparable financial statements (i.e.
provide a column for the period ended March 31, 2004). Refer to
Item
310(b) of Regulation S-B. In this connection, this comment is
applicable to your Form 10-QSB filed on May 16, 2005
Closing Comments

these
comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide

the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover
letter
with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and
provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover
letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we
may
have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and
responses
to our comments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filing reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision. Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they
are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they
have made.
