Given the scientists mention around 13,000 years ago, that would be about the time of the great northern hemisphere bolide strike(s). It is suggested this hastened the extinction of the very large land mammals, like mammoths, etc. Loss of the large mammals would force the remaining humans to eat smaller items like fish, rabbits, deer, etc. Also if many humans were also killed the survivors might have formed much small bands not able to easily kill the remaining large animals such as bisons.
Time to show the Firestone book.
If I had the choice between eating caribou or salmon, cut me off a hunk of red meat!

Yup, and people will eat whatever they can find to eat, period.
Of course. But if we have our druthers we prefer fatty, cooked, sweet and salted.
Fish might have been regarded the same way edible bugs are regarded. Sure you COULD eat them but unless you are starving why would you?
It’s probably a matter of the scale of the fishing.
