Scandinavia from the 10th century through the 14th and 15th centuries were fish and sea mammals. That the colonizers that farmed in the Western Settlement came from these very same people would indicate that they could have had a history of fishing. Another question that needs to be asked is why did the Norse farmers, having close to 300 years of direct contact with the Eskimos, fail to learn the fishing techniques used by the Eskimos.
