    My grandfather was a sailor in Stavanga Norway in those days of wooden ships and iron men, until he broke his back at 16. Couldn’t afford proper treatment so it healed wrong and he was a hunchback for life. He emigrated at 17 to America and still put in 40 years as a groundskeeper for Los Angeles schools. Never saw the man without a smile and a laugh close behind. I miss you Bedstefar.

    Fishermen on George's Bank ate cod-tongues and sold their salted catch. Smoked fish is a northern staple. Spoilage was an issue and salt-cod had to be soaked before cooking (Baccala).
    Strange water fish can be toxic but following the natives is always wise. Toxins concentrate as they move up the food-chain. Ground fish are way down in the open ocean.

      To be fair, you'd notice your own stink above others most of the time, and lye (or other cleaning materials are) generally available for ships maintenance. The most egregious scent offenders would be forced to wash, if it reached a problem level. But, also many sailors smoked, and most drank on top of years of exposure to the salt air.

    The first ship I served on was a WWII destroyer. My birthing compartment was ~20X12 with 21 racks (beds). We were on water hours numerous times on that deployment. No water to wash with and restricted water to drink. From 6PM to 6AM drinking water was shut off.
    Therefore cramped conditions were common. On submarines “hot racking” was the order of day after picking up downed pilots, for example.

      She was showing me genealogy materials, and there was a name that she sort of skipped over. I asked who it was, and she said "oh he was just a sailor".
      I asked my dad about it, and apparently he was a well known pirate for the time. Lol
      I wish that I could remember his name. He wasn't one of the really famous ones that we learned about in history class, but he was supposedly a pretty big deal in his day.
      My grandmother was very embarrassed about this, and considered it shameful behavior. I thought it was pretty cool, especially as a kid.

      Without mentioning it, the description is for probably ciguatera poisoning, which is a reef fish food chain toxin only - still not treatable today. Mercury poisoning is probably more related to industrialisation which is obviously more recent for apex predators due to accumulation in the food chain. The fish you mention have increased accumulation due to size, so smaller fish have accumulated fewer toxins.
