Part of both faith and fashion, fish was an important ingredient in the medieval diet. And because of this, medieval fishing was much more sophisticated than just a rod, a line, and a worm. This week on The Medieval Podcast, Danièle speaks with Richard Hoffmann about what people were eating, how they caught it, and how fish farming evolved over time.
Richard Hoffmann is Professor Emeritus in History at York University. Richard’s new book is The Catch: An Environmental History of Medieval European Fisheries.
