Trivia: What fish is traditionally eaten on the Fourth of July?
Trout
Sea Bass
Salmon
Mackerel
The correct answer is Salmon
So why is this answer correct? : Back in the early days of the Fourth of July holiday, New Englanders would eat salmon to celebrate. It was almost out of necessity — salmon runs were happening throughout the states, and it was easy to catch them. Today, there are fewer fish to catch, but the tradition stays strong in New England.
