This study brings a variety of approaches to bear on problems
realting to fish eating, its prevalence and economic and cultural
significance in classical Greece. Archaeological work is used to
determine how widespread fishing was, and in which regions fishing
was particularly intensive. Although the scale of fishing appears
highly variable there appears to be little link between this and
environmental factors. Accordingly, much of the book is given over
to literary and anthropological research to determine the reasons
for fish consumption, looking at the ancient classification of
fish, their use in cultic practices, processes of distribution and
marketing, and the relationship between fish consumption and social
class.
