Because Ankera Town was a large gathering settlement for humans located in the border region, although it was a fair distance from the coast to avoid tsunamis, every year it would still attract a generation of sea monsters coming ashore during the breeding season. If not for this, The Church and The Mercenary Guild would not frequently issue missions to hunt and kill sea monsters to protect the residents.
Therefore, every once in a while, Old Jacques' grocery store could import a jar of sea monster oil from lucky adventurers. Naturally, there were also beast meat and beast hides, only the latter required much more effort to process and tan into a form that could withstand preservation without rotting before they could be transported to the grocery store for sale.
