This quest is really annoying. So there you are, a great hero, but your people won't tell what the next step is if you don't go and get rations. And to add insult to injury your people are picky, too! Not just every bit of tortoise meat will do, oh no!
Pearly Tortoise are located in the water surrounding Pearlfin Village

Description
We do not have time to wait around for the Admiral to recover. Sully and I are planning to search for Anduin to the north, but we'll need supplies for our journey. The lake here is teeming with wildlife, which we have received permission to hunt. Go and gather some supplies while Sully and I finalize our preparations.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Pearlfin Situation
I've been thinking. We are cut off from support and a long way from home. Although these Pearlfin jinyu mistrust our presence, they do not appear to be hostile. If we could convince them that we are their friends, an alliance between our races could prove extremely valuable.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Elder's Instruments
Oh dear, oh dear... The Elder mustn't find out! I must have left the Elder's ceremonial instruments behind during the escape. But... Moonwater Retreat is crawling with hozen by now! What sort of Pearlkeeper am I, to have lost them so carelessly?
