Many people enjoy fish and seafood as part of their diet. In some parts of the world, fish and seafood make up the majority of their protein intake. Fish and seafood have been an important food source from the earliest ages of humanity. Fish and seafood could be obtained from almost any body of water, including rivers, streams, lakes, and the ocean. Some fisherman used basket-like traps, others used spears or nets. Fish could be eaten raw, cooked, or dried and preserved. Some historians believe that the rise of ancient Greek and Roman civilization was in some part due to the abundance of fish in the Mediterranean Sea, providing such an ample food source that the people of the region could advance.
