Fish is part of the Amazonian diet, whether in the capital Manaus or in the interior of the state. They are the population that consumes the most of this type of food in Brazil, according to various studies published in the country. The greatest demand for this food is during Lent, when the population maintains the Catholic tradition of eating fish and giving up meat. At the fairs, stallholders plan ahead to stock up on different varieties of fish so that they can make a success of their sales during the period. Of course, they obey the closed season for each species.
