Topic: Why do many seafood restaurants have pirate themes?

I mean, fishermen would know alot about fish, but pirates?? Why the hell would pirates know anything necessarily about fishing, seafood, or cooking fish?

Because they're out at sea a lot. They have to eat something.

But they generally would pack provisions, like dried or smoked meat. They rarely actually went fishing.

Can't last forever, you know. They're bound to run out sometime.

Pirates rarely fished. They did not carry fishnets with them like fishing boats do.

I didn't do anything to warrant such ire. But I begin to suspect that you are simply trolling, so I shall respectively disengage. Have a nice day.

And I in turn was presenting my take on DM. Don't worry, I'm not a troll from TC who's going to shit up every thread he participates in. I was commenting on his common refusal to acknowledge basic facts, in this case that men who spent great lengths of time at sea would have some aptitude for and knowledge of fishing.

No, pirates did NOT fish very often. That is why 18th century sailors often died of suffered from malnutrition.

Dude, they were at sea for months at a time. They must have had at least a basic grasp of how to fish.
