I would love jerky. I saw bitpantry's jerky and it looked black as soot.

As long as it tastes great, I don't mind supporting your father. I also love smoked salmon, I have been eating that stuff since I was a kid.

Both your products sound interesting to me, but will you ship to canada?

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
Hey guys, I'm not quite sure if this is the right place for this thread, but depending on the feedback I get, this could be the right place. I would like to thank you for reading this thread, and giving feedback, please ask questions, post comments or concerns, and I'll answer, and hopefully we can get a market scoped out if there is one.

So I'v finally got my father fairly interested in Bitcoins, and I was tossing out ideas on how he could acquire Bitcoins (mostly because I was telling him about the Silver/Gold trade in Bitcoins, and he was very interested in that), and the idea of selling Jerky and possibly Smoked fish came up. First off, I should mention, my dad has been a semi professional butcher, hunter, and fisherman for 40 years. He is good enough to be a professional butcher, but he is actually active duty military, so it has been mostly a hobby at this point. He has been making his own Jerky, Sausages, Bologna, Hotdogs, and what have you since he was a kid, so he knows what he is doing. As for fishing, he and most of my family have held or still hold commercial fishing licenses, so when it comes to fishing, he also knows what he is doing.

My question is, would people be interested in buying Jerky and possibly smoked fish for BTC or LTC? Jerky has been done, I remember buying jerky a while back for BTC, but the problem was, it was terrible, and I guess the guy went out of business, as I haven't seen the jerky around for sale for the last couple of years. And the fish may be a long shot, but smoked fish holds up pretty well, can be canned, or jarred, and fairly easily shipped I believe.

My main concerns are how does the public feel about these topics:

1) If he was to sell Jerky, he could very easily make Beef Jerky, but I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in Venison Jerky as well. The taste in my opinion, is great, just as good if not better than Beef Jerky, but some people have their own opinions on hunting which is fine. In Maryland, you are allowed as many deer as you want, so that may be an option if people are interested in trying it, but again, beef is easy too.

2) For the smoked fish, would people be interested in trying other fishes besides the common smoked Salmon? We can make smoked Salmon, as we have very close connections to Salmon farms, but we also have very good quality, and a wide variety of fish available nearby for the catching that taste great smoked. (Bluefish is one of those)

3) Sanitation is a huge concern here, mishandling meat and fish is a big no no, but sanitation wise, like I said, my father is a true professional, he has made a living off of commercial fishing at one point, and lived solely on what he and his family could catch as a child, so the sanitary measures that he has learned over the years to prevent himself from getting sick are top notch, I would say his operation is more sanitary than most meat/fish selling major companies.

Again, thanks for reading, and I appreciate any feedback that you leave, if you can think of any other important topics, please feel free to ask. Thanks again for all of your help.
