There is a large uncooked chicken on the counter of the meat store. The woman in front of the counter looks overwhelmed by the size but the butcher is unmoved.
Chicken are not that large and meat stores wouldn't sell them at that size.
Why is the chicken so big?
The gravy boat is docked at the wharf.

A "gravy boat" is a special serving dish used for gravy during thanksgiving: it is normal sized, i.e., less than a foot long. But, the turkey here is giant, and so to get gravy for it, you might need a literal "gravy boat", i.e., a full sized boat filled with gravy (which according to this butcher is docked at the wharf).
