[Sca-cooks] ambergris

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

Regards ambergis this bit of infornation gleaned from the web.  Perhaps it 
will help:
Ambergris occurs as a biliary secretion of the intestines of the sperm 
whale, and can be found floating upon the sea, or in the sand near the 
coast. It is also sometimes found in the abdomens of whales. Because giant 
squids' beaks have been found embedded within lumps of ambergris, scientists 
have theorized that the whale's intestine produces the substance as a means 
of easing the passage of hard, sharp objects that the whale might have 
inadvertently eaten.

Ambergris can be found in the Atlantic Ocean; on the coasts of Brazil and 
Madagascar; and on the coast of Africa, of the East Indies, The Maldives, 
mainland China, Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand and the Molucca 
islands. Most commercially collected ambergris comes from the Bahama Islands 
and Providence Island in the Caribbean.
