> Just because the customs are different from other coastal communities in other countries doesn’t make America’s any less sophisticated.

On average it is less sophisticated though. Most coastal Americans (US) only consume a subset of the breadth of diversity of seafood available to them relative to many other regions of the world.

80% of America's seafood is imported, so it is not like Americans are producing. a lot of seafood along their coasts. The frozen tilapia we ate last night I think was from Chile. See: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/aquaculture/us-aquac...

Thats true, partially because of economics, but also because Americans' seafood palette involves farmed salmon, farmed tilapia and swai (not coastal seafood btw), etc. doesn't mean more diversity isn't available.
