COUYOUMDJIAN, Juan Ricardo. EL MAR Y EL PALADAR: EL CONSUMO DE PESCADOS Y MARISCOS EN CHILE DESDE LA INDEPENDENCIA HASTA 1930. Historia (Santiago) [online]. 2009, vol.42, n.1, pp.57-107. ISSN 0717-7194.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-71942009000100002.

This article provides a survey of fish and seafood supply and consumption in Chile. Reference is made to local species available in our coasts and the existing confusion between them. The difficulties in providing markets with fresh products, the early attempts to preserve fish and seafood and to establish fish farming, the volume of imports and estimates of local production, as well as the modes of preparation and consumer preferences, are considered in this study too. The available evidence shows that as transport facilities improved, production and consumption increased from the beginning of the Twentieth century.

Palabras clave : Fish; seafood; diet; food.
