First, some history: years ago, the word was "fisherman" or "fishermen." In many places, it still is. But that word was based on the assumption that only men did this job-- an assumption that was generally accurate many years ago when roles for women were very restricted. But as society changed and more women began doing various previously all-male jobs, the language also changed, although very gradually. In fact, there was a general trend in the 1960s and 1970s to make the language more neutral. Some words lost their male-only (-man) suffix, and there were other efforts to describe certain jobs in a non-sexist manner -- "letter carrier" instead of "mail man," for example. That said, you will still find that "fisher folk" is rare. But you may see it:
In Clovelly, a small English village by the sea, the fisher folk gathered before sunrise, got into their boats, and hoped for a good day of fishing.
