Also. around the mediterrainian, fish is a food staple of the poor. The point is to eliminate excess.

I'd argue that an inlander ordering fish at a fancy restaurant on a Friday during Lent is not following the spirit of the law (which can be more of a discipline than a rule, depending on the local episcopal authority), especially if it's not a special occasion and the fish was caught hundreds of kilometers away.

The inlander could eat freshwater fish like trout or carp, no fancy saltwater fish.

Sorry, I thought it was clear: there was and is also fish ‘Inland’ that is poor people’s food.
