Fishmongers in a medieval or fantasy town: how many, and where
About one household of fishmongers for every 4,300 townspeople. Counted as masters and heads of household: journeymen, apprentices and servants come on top. The Paris tax roll of 1292 names 50 of them, for a city of about 220,000 people: only those who paid the taille, so fewer than there were. About as common as carters and potters.
Only where it stands on a river or on the coast.

| 3,000 | 1 |
| 10,000 | 2 |
| 40,000 | 9 |
| 150,000 | 35 |
