How many fish would the average old 1800s fishing boat carry?
I'm writing a story with 1800s ish level of technology. ie. Sails not motors. Wooden hulls, not fiberglass. etc
In my story, the protagonist is a fisherman (him and his crew uses nets) and he has just returned to shore with a huge catch.
How many fish would have been considered a 'Huge Catch" for your average 1800s fishing net boat. I've tried researching old fishing boats but I can't find any real information.
Thanks!
some of the commercial schooners fishing the grand banks could get as much as 100 to 150 tons over a month's fishing which would be salted for preservation, as refrigeration on the ships was unknown at the time.
