Why don't we eat fish in our culture?

[.279]

So none of you niggas from coastal cities regularly eat fish?

In Djibouti, we love eating fish. It's better than eating camels.

Ive always wondered, why isn't fish a main dish in our culture? We've got the longest coastline in Africa.

Read this, if you want enlightenment:


"The only other major linguistic group known to have been present in the western Lake Turkana area during prehistoric times was Cushitic. While Cushitic speakers did inhabit the same area their customs militate against any association with the Turkwell tradition. Cushitic peoples have very strong customary prohibitions against eating fish, while some western and eastern Nilotes such as the Nuer, Lwo, Njemps and Turkana do considerable fishing. The inhabitants of Lopoy were very clearly fishermen and this argues for a linkage with the Nilotes rather than any Cushitic group. In addition, Cushitic peoples, as far as we are aware, have a cultural prohibition against making pottery. In contrast, some Nilotes do make pottery, although in some cases such as among the Turkana it is rarely done. At Lopoy, the recovery of partially fired sherds as well as one with an embedded fish spine found in the groove which was probably a decorating tool (Fig. 2) implies that at least some of the pottery was being made locally at the site. Given the evidence presented above, it is highly likely that the Turkwell tradition was associated with eastern Nilotic speakers. This conclusion together with the archaeological evidence that eastern Cushites also inhabited the same general area indicates cultural contact such as is postulated by students of modern languages and ethnographic evidence.


SUMMARY
Recent archaeological research conducted west of Lake Turkana, Kenya has shed new light on the prehistory of eastern Cushitic and Nilotic speakers in East Africa. The Namoratunga cemetery and rock art sites, dated to about 300 B.c., are clearly related to the prehistory of Eastern Cushitic speakers. The newly defined Turkwell cultural tradition, dated to the first millennium A.D., is associated with eastern Nilotic prehistory. Lopoy, a large lakeside fishing and pastoralist settlement, is discussed in terms of eastern Nilotic prehistory. The archaeological data agrees with the independent findings of historical linguistics."

My awoow never ate fish or chicken, use to say it's ignoble and not our culture, eating chicken to him was like eating pigeon lol, would always give us a look of disapproval when enjoying some fried chicken. Even Cow milk was off limits to him. He only touched Hilib adhi/geel and geel milk.

Nah, thats broke indoyaar food, we got hilib ari to eat

 

[Gibiin-Udug]

People that didn’t grow up near the sea don’t eat fish and they’re mostly reer badiye.


If you’ve never lived near a beach then you’re considered badow, animal, reer badiye.

That’s why most people who eat fish and grew up near the sea are more open minded, smarter and have a great way of living life.

When somalia was going through the drought

How were the people on the costal cities doing?

Now I’m curious.

Were they doing okay since they had access to fishing?

If you live in Northern Sanaag. All by the coast in Bari. Kismaayo and Xamar . they eat fish. When i went to Las Khorey. We only ate hilib on fridays. Every day was fish. Reer badiye dont eat fresh fish. They eat canned tuna.
In the North they dont eat Chicken for the most part.
