Fish and other seafood has traditionally been an important part of many Native people's diet.
Some people netted fish with nets made of natural fibers,
although spearing and bow-hunting has been done by many Native people as well.
Night fishing was done using fish oil lanterns for illumination.

1/2 cup sunflower seed or peanut oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Heat the sunflower or peanut oil in a medium sized cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Quickly saute the onion in the hot oil, stirring often.
Add parsley and stir well.
Add the 1/4 cup of yellow cornmeal, stirring continually and cooking for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool.
In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, lemon juice, salt, paprika,
white pepper, dill weed, celery, pepper, scallions, chicken stock, and eggs; blend these ingredients thoroughly.
Cover and chill for 3 hours.
Heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Shape the crabmeat mixture into 16 well-proportioned cakes
about 3 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick and dust each side lightly with the remaining 1 cup of fine cornmeal.
Ease the cakes one at a time without crowding them into the hot oil;
