Why is freshwater fishing not popular? The freshwater has more diversity in species than saltwater. But every single culture that has ate fish as an essential part of their diet has lived near the sea. If you go inland, you the fish you get are those that are imported from the coast in ice trucks, and there aren't many authentic dishes there that require fish.

loaded question, it is popular

rivers produce much less fish than the sea

Beside trout the other two are low tier fish

Fresh water fish have more parasites.

Perch, Eel, Zander and Pike are frequently fished for and eaten here in Poland.

>>17865393
you're just a midwest american, no wonder you know nothing about fish
carp is popular around the world outside the US and catfish is very big in asia and the south

Humans unironically have an ingrained preference for meat, especially red meat, over fish. Just going by caveman statistics; humans 'probably' don't actually like fish, but we ate it because it was there and it was abundant.
Pic related is from a journal I read about the first human habitation of Okinawa from 22,000BC. The image displays the dozens of animal species (but not quantity, that was in the notes) found in their garbage pits; not only was seafood (majoritively crab) a smaller part of their diet, but easily their 'favorite' food was boar (before that it was deer and tortoises, but they ate them to extinction).

Why should I want to needlessly torture animals?

>>17865440
If you love animals so much, then stop breathing you're stealing their precious air.

>>17865441
Evidence that animals will lack air if a single human breathes?

>>17865449
Evidence that fish actually suffer and understand what's happening?

i would kill and eat both of you

>>17865450
>suffer
They react to pain and try to avoid it, visibly spasming in agony if injured
>understand what's happening
I cannot guarantee that a fish understands the surface world

>>17865452
I'm not an American basedboy, I would just stab you to death with serrated hunting knife and cut you up to pieces.

>>17865457
Animals are food for human consumption. If they were smarter, they would eat you as well. Even a fucking turtle would just chomp on you, while you squeal like a retarded pig you are.

It's an organism eats other organism type of world. Either deal with your emotional and psychological issues or fucking kill yourself. Either way, don't shit up conversations with your feminine bullshit.

>>17865482
And I would suffer as well and it would be regrettable. While we cannot and should not remove all suffering from the world, it is only reasonable to not needlessly torture other beings when it provides no benefit what so ever.

I think, as a very general statement, humans greatly prefer red meat to fish BUT there's a select few fish that are particularly delicious. Salmon, cod, shrimp, or trout; will be just as good, if not better, than the usual red meat.

But then again, catfish, carp, and the like; are trash fish that have a lot of off flavors. Greatly inferior to red meat.

Fish has a huge spectrum of quality and flavors, in a way that red meat does not.

>>17865421
Freshwater fishing is extremely popular in the midwest though, because of the great lakes. It's even done on a large commercial scale because all the restaurants need an endless supply of walleye for the customary Friday fish fry

I hate G*rmans and Puritans so much...
it provides benefit to the one consuming the other. even "herbivores" eat rodents.
>God help me, how Tolstoy sweats over drying up people's sources of life, of wild and joyful life, drying them up and making the world fat with the love of God and everyman. ... But the man is old, after all, his fountains of life run dry, without a trace remaining of human affections. ... Only someone who has become slow and watertight with old age, satiated and hardened with pleasure, will go to youth and say, Renounce! ... And yet the youth renounces nothing, but sins royally for forty years. Such is the course of nature!
If you are white, you're likely of German/English ancestry. If so, your ancestors were radical retards and low-IQ autists that could only function in this world with the idea of "certainty" existing. you cunts remove yourselves from the idea that humans are animals. and I don't mean "WE'RE LITERALLY CHIMPANZEES", more like you think that you're closer to gods, and thus can and should reshape the world to be more "just", "fair", etc etc. fuck you.

Black market exists moron.

The Amazonians only exist because of the inexhaustible fresh water resources

>>17865685
I'm still not randomly torturing animals for no reason.

>>17865734
Man fish eat so much it's not to hard in them to have them thrash about. You can also smash the barb on your hook so it doesn't tear their mouth up

>>17865719
lol, you're not hard enough to buy anything off the black market

>>17865428
>humans 'probably' don't actually like fish
Aren't you human yourself?

Hunter gatherers would procure as many calories as they could from the environment in general due to Malthusian pressure. More likely they preferred wild smoked salmon and only ate the tougher meat and offal of big game animals, more dangerous and exhausting to hunt than peaceably fishing, due to hunger.

Not wanting to torture animals = vegan you retarded cuck
>>17865450

In australia, people built these stone structures that would direct fish into small channels where they would be caught easily. The most mind blowing part is that this wasn't a passed down tradition. They were simply continously using the same dams built by their ancestors tens of thousands of years ago to the point they had forgotten who built them or how to build them. Estimates for these stone fishing dams range from 10,000-40,000 years ago

This is why you have to bash their brains out with a club. Quickest way. If I ever hunt deer again I'm going headshots only if I use a gun. Boom. Dead. I feel bad cutting off copperhead heads and quickly turn it into mincemeat after learning they're alive for like 15 minutes as you bury them next to their twisting body. Then again reptiles are just that metal. Mammals were a mistake

Animal lives do not matter. Killing an animal for food isn't murder or torture.

Freshwater habitats are so easy to fuck up

>>17865079
So build more rivers.
