I think lobsters was a big part of that. The lobsters used to be in the waters near shorelines supposedly. Even recently i.e. early 1900s before lobster was popular I've heard farmers would gather them on beaches and use them for fertilizer. I live on an island so it's a common thing here to have farms near beaches.
