The Great Tang Empire fishing vessels, with larger tonnage, higher mechanization, and more advanced equipment, can catch fish at ten times the speed, filling the market and enriching people's tables.
The price of fish has come down, but this doesn't mean that the common folk can afford to eat fish. On the contrary, these seafood products were not consumed by ordinary people in the past because they were expensive and not abundant.
Thus, only the coastal people ate fish, while in other regions, due to high transportation, fishing, and preservation costs, common folk would not consume fish.
But now, due to the large catch and improved transportation conditions, seafood products are starting to penetrate inland via railways and highways, becoming another choice for ordinary people.
