Fish & Seafood

People have eaten from the water for as long as they have lived beside it: shellfish were on the menu at Pinnacle Point in South Africa 164,000 years ago, and deep-water fishing was under way in Timor 42,000 years ago. Fish needed no domestication and no farming, only access — so seafood cookery has as many origins as there are coastlines and rivers.
