Early settlers and fishing

Early settlers in America were heavily reliant on fishing as a means of survival and trade. Fish were a plentiful resource in the coastal regions of North America and were consumed fresh, salted, dried, or smoked. In addition to providing food for settlers, fishing also became a valuable commodity for trade and commerce with other colonies and European countries. The advent of commercial fishing in the 1800s brought technological advancements in boats, nets, and processing, making fishing a major industry. Today, fishing remains an important part of America's cultural heritage, as well as a critical source of food and livelihood for many communities.
