Plus what that means for diet-- nowadays transportation is a bit faster but I met a guy from the midwest talking about how 30-40 years ago they didn’t really see much fish if it wasn’t frozen and fried.
Where I grew up 30-40 years ago, Red Lobster was good seafood. About as good as you could get at a local restaurant. Of course now, I was surprised to learn that Red Lobster still exists
In the US, the vast majority of all commercially available seafood has been frozen. You are just paying a defrosting fee for the more expensive “fresh fish” in the display case at the market.
I knew all fish for raw consumption had to be frozen but I didn’t realize most other fish was as well. Either way, this dude was saying he pretty much only saw fish sticks growing up.
