COMMENTS.

 

For thousands of years, the abundance of fishes (finfish & shellfish) in the Pacific Northwest created a seafood paradise (including sea mammals) for the Indigenous peoples hunting and gathering along the region’s pristine waterways.“Mediterranean basin” are far and away, the most popularized dietary zones (shown BELOW).
Pacific Northwest is in my opinion part of the contiguous California-Mediterranean dietary zone.
