WORK & OCCUPATION

Occupation

Recorded occupation: Matelot-pecheur

The pêcheur d'anguille, or eel fisherman, was a person who caught eels either for personal consumption or for sale. Eel fishing was practiced mainly in the St. Lawrence, but also in the Richelieu River, Lake St. Pierre, near L'Islet and Kamouraska.

Fishing was the first resource of early inhabitants, as they waited for their land to be cleared and start producing wheat.
