They caught there fish each day, extra fish would be salted (this would dry the fish which would keep bacteria from growing) to last longer and for travel. They salted meat as well. They also smoked meat and fish. They stored grain and ground it into flour when needed.
They dried, smoked, or salted food to keep it good. This was true with meat, but fresh vegetables and fruit had to be eaten or dried . Some root cellars were used. George Washington had three types of cellars to keep ice cream in.
