T. K. Bellis
Thomas Kerrison Bellis (c. 1851 – after 1912) was a British merchant and importer of turtles. Known as "The Turtle King",〔("The Turtle King" ) in ''The Sketch'', 23 February 1898, p. 213.〕〔 he established a thriving business in London at the end of the 19th century, producing turtle products that promised health benefits and were a staple of Victorian fine dining and civic banquets.
==Career==
Bellis was born in Liverpool, and educated there at Liverpool College.〔 He travelled to London to work in a West India house (West Indies merchants) as a young man.〔("The Turtle King" ) in ''Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News'', 28 June 1898, p. 6.〕 It was probably there that he learned about the turtle trade. He started his own business in the trade in 1874〔 and in 1882 won a silver medal for turtle products at the International Fisheries Exhibition.〔"The International Fisheries Exhibition" in ''The Times'', 18 April 1882, p. 10.〕 He created a niche for himself, so that by the end of the nineteenth century he had almost monopolised the trade in turtle products in Britain. His firm produced turtle soup and pate, turtle herbs, turtle oil soap, sun-dried turtle and various kinds of preserved turtle, and supplied Queen Victoria.〔Advertising in Wills, Walter H. and R.J.
