You might want to contact Difco. They prepare fish peptone on bulk order (50
kg batch) for companies. Sometimes, they will have a couple of extra kg that
they can sell you. At one point (depending on interest) they were considering
putting it in the catalog, but they haven't done it yet. I have used this
fish peptone, and it dissolves to yield a clear solution, unlike some of the
others that I have tried. Other manufacturers like Oxoid (UK) may also have
similar peptones.
Good luck.
