I can imagine Eels would have been eaten too, caught from small streams.

The Beornings must have been vegetarian, not vegan, as they ate honey didn't they?
I have to agree with Lalwendë on this one because in Alaska (where I live) the Salmon swim up into the rivers from the ocean to mate and die and usually people go to rivers during that season to find salmon. The Brandybucks could also have gone fishing on boats because it is said in numerous places in the books that some times Brandybucks go out on boats.

Note on Nogrod's recipe, "coriander" is commonly known as "cilantro", so if you were confused... Just had to say that since I have put coriander on a grocery list, and my dad was unable to find it, though he knows what cilantro is.

Thanks Finduilas, Agood tip, because I didn't know what coriander was until you said that.

I defenitely think hobbit's ate fish, fish makes sence.
I haven't had any time to do any more research on hobbit eating behaviour, I'll let you know if IU find any mentionings of fish in the books.
Sam Gamgee extolled the delights of "fried fish and chips" to Gollum; while cooking rabbits in Ithilien.
JRRT removed the reference to "tomatoes" early in TH, replacing it with "pickles" (right after "cold chicken and"). But he left 'taters in Middle-earth.
