Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Review of the Fishery Industries of the United States and the Work of the U. S. Fish Commission The first American colony, planted at Jamestown in 1609, owed its permanence chiefly to the abundance of fish and oysters in the adjacent rivers. Its founder, Captain John Smith, was the pioneer of the American fisheries, and in his writings devotes many pages to the discussion of the methods by which they should be carried on. He was a practical fisherman, for his vessel in 1614 took 47,000 fish off the coast of Maine. He realised thoroughly the value of his spoils. "And is it not pretty sport," wrote he, "to haul up two pence, six pence, and twelve pence as fast as you can hale and veare a line? He is a very bad fisher cannot kill in one day with his hooke and line, one, two or three hundred cods." The colonists whom he planted on the shores of the Chesapeake have handed his precepts faithfully down to their descendants, who are to-day hauling pence up out of the water faster than their forefathers ever learned to do. The fisheries of the Chesapeake region yielded in 1880 a product valued at nearly eight and one-half million dollars. The Massachusetts colonies were founded with still more special reference to the fisheries. We are told in Winslow's "Briefe Narrative of the True Grounds and Causes of the First Planting of New England," that when the Puritans sent agents from Leyden to King James to gain his consent to their going to America, the King at once asked "what profit might arise." They answered in a single word, "Fishing." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States It is now nearly four hundred years Since these grounds were first fished upon by Europeans, and their resources are still unfailing; but the fishing interests have been mainly transferred to the New World, France alone of European countries having continued to send fishing vessels across the Atlantic down to 1880. Since then, however, the Portuguese have begun to exhibit some activity in connection with the cod fishery of the Grand Bank, and in the Spring and sum mer of 1885 bought several New England fishing schooners and fitted out others from home ports. Their voyages proving generally successful, they have added more vessels to their fishing fleet during the latter part of this year, and it is quite possible that, in the course of a few seasons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fulton Fish Market stands out as an iconic New York institution. At first a neighborhood retail market for many different kinds of food, it became the nation’s largest fish and seafood wholesaling center by the late nineteenth century. Waves of immigrants worked at the Fulton Fish Market and then introduced the rest of the city to their seafood traditions. In popular culture, the market—celebrated by Joseph Mitchell in The New Yorker—conjures up images of the bustling East River waterfront, late-night fishmongering, organized crime, and a vanished working-class New York. This book is a lively and comprehensive history of the Fulton Fish Market, from its founding in 1822 through its move to the Bronx in 2005. Jonathan H. Rees explores the market’s workings and significance, tracing the transportation, retailing, and consumption of fish. He tells the stories of the people and institutions that depended on the Fulton Fish Market—including fishermen, retail stores, restaurants, and chefs—and shows how the market affected what customers in New York and around the country ate. Rees examines transformations in food provisioning systems through the lens of a vital distribution point, arguing that the market’s wholesale dealers were innovative businessmen who adapted to technological change in a dynamic industry. He also explains how changes in the urban landscape and economy affected the history of the market and the surrounding neighborhood. Bringing together economic, technological, urban, culinary, and environmental history, this book demonstrates how the Fulton Fish Market shaped American cuisine, commerce, and culture.
