it can still be feast or famine but the ocean was once plentiful in many costal areas, pacific islands have some written history from sailors / explorers of some pretty great living conditions all things considered
even though farming is credited with allowing for population density supporting civilization (tech, stratification etc) plenty of peoples subsisted on the coast for numerous generations prior
we’ve been a species much longer than we’ve had farming (30x?) not really fair to toss all that out just because there is no historical documentation
we have oral traditions arguably from before farming societies
but fish ponds off the coast supported relatively large populations in antiquity, just by then farming was also a thing so there was no reason not to do both
