===Traditional cuisine=== The Nisga’a traditionally harvest "sea food" all year round.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/07/150707-salvation-fish-canada-first-nations-animals-conservation-world/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001204514/https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/07/150707-salvation-fish-canada-first-nations-animals-conservation-world/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 October 2019 |title='Salvation Fish' That Sustained Native People Now Needs Saving|date=7 July 2015|website=National Geographic News|language=en|access-date=28 April 2020}}</ref> This might include [[razor clam]]s, [[mussel]]s, [[oyster]]s, [[limpet]]s, [[scallop]]s, abalone, fish, seaweed and other seafood that can be harvested from the shore. They also harvest [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[char (fish)|char]], [[pike (fish)|pike]], trout and other freshwater fish from the streams, and hunt seals, fish and [[sea lion]]. The grease of the [[oolichan]] fish (''Thaleichthys pacificus'') is sometimes traded with other tribes, though nowadays this is more usually in a ceremonial context. They hunt mountain goat, [[marmot]], game birds and more in the forests. The family works together to cook and process the meat and fish, roasting or boiling the former. They eat fish and sea mammals in frozen, boiled, dried or roasted form. The heads of a type of cod, often gathered half-eaten by sharks, are boiled into a soup that, according to folklore, helps prevent colds. The Nisga′a also trade dried fish, seal oil, fish oil, blubber and cedar.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}
