No one is buying fish

[Hypersapien]

I have fishing huts set up and manned, and I have a fish market built with a person assigned to it. But the fish keep piling up and the market stand continuously says none sold. I'm not stockpiling them or anything. The berries and bread are being bought with no problem.

Anyone have any ideas about what's going on?

Is your fish market part of the same market monument as the other two markets? Villagers buy from markets in the same monument in order. Thus, if the fish is the third market, they won't buy unless the other two are empty. If so, make a separate fish market and try again.

You might have too many food stalls linked together. If you limit your food stalls to just two per build, they'll start eating all the food.

it could also be that your villagers have another food source closer to them.
That happened do me too, once I had more commoners and citizens they will start buying since they will need more than a food source

This would certainly explain my inability to sell my bread; they only buy berries, despite my attempts to stockpile them. It would be nice if it was possible to tweak the market a bit more; change the order, limit the amounts sold, maybe pause selling an item, etc.

Personally, I have fishermen's huts.
You need an attic which can store the fish (checkbox) and which has at least one transporter assigned to this attic (to bring the fish from the fisherman's hut to the attic).
Then your merchant (who is assigned to the market that sells fish) will come to the attic to stock up.
And you will sell fish.

This is the same supply chain to follow with any type of food (with a granary) or commodity (with a warehouse).
