Abstract

This article demonstrates that in the city of Guadalajara during the seventeenth century there was a high consumption of fish and shellfish largely determined by the imposition of the Catholic Church not to consume red meat during the days of vigil, lent, Friday and Saturday. Check that it was very well stocked thanks on the one hand to its proximity with de Chapala lagoon and the Río Grande or Santiago and on the other being a forced transit point for seafood that came from hot land heading to other parts of New Spain. It outlines how, thanks to the economic importance of this commercial circuit, it is implemented in a collection system of alcabalas for affected luxury products, while other estimated as a common good will remain exempt from paying it. He ends up making a series of proposals for future studies on the colonial trade in these products.
