There were tons of sturgeon to cook
You must be wondering why did we add fish to the list when it is a popular option even today. Yet, we are sure that you have probably never tried sturgeon before. When the settlers arrived in the Americas, they started to consume these fish, and it became an everyday meal.
This fish can be found throughout the fresh waters of North America. When the English settlers founded the colony of Jamestown, they noticed there were plenty of sturgeons. So much so that according to John Smith, “We have more sturgeon, can consume as humans and dogs.” Have you ever heard of this fish?
