A quote from John Smith while catching Sturgeon
Fish lying so thicke with their heads above the water, as for want of our nets (our barge driving amongst them) we attempted to catch them with a frying pan, but we had found it a bad instrument to catch fish with
-John Smith
They ate sturgeon and tortoises. They also ate wild game and the few foods they had from the boat ride. They mainly ate stew or corn. Fruits were also a main part of their diet, but they did not eat veggies (SO RIGHT!), thinking they were bad and unhealthy.

The animal bones from food supplies found in a pit dating prior to 1610 reveal that the 104 men and boys who landed at Jamestown survived primarily on fish and turtles! Sturgeon was the most common fish. A sturgeon may live up to 60 years, weigh up to 800 pounds and reach lengths of up to 15 feet.
