Quick reply:
There's a tonne of reading material (online? and book), that cover economy in different cultures in less technological times.
At most, it depends geographically on the land.
Are cutures and communuties separated by a geographical feature or simply a cultural one? Is it maritime or agrarian or something else ?
A quick showover (with some, not much but some bend to reality) is often good enough for most of my players, so I dont have to devolve the entire thing into a economics game. Enough to show a difference and evenif iaccurate - not enough to draw attention to it (LOL) .... /end offside commentary.
Coastside communities can tend to many sea-related foods and trades but unless its only large splattery islands, theres an abundance of land supported life by coastal regions to also support hunting of deer and farming. Vegetables or food stuff that only thrive in extrememly wet soil or weather conditions are often quite a delicacy for others who are further into the continent. The rivers are often packed as marketplaces from trades from the coastal reaches with stuff!
Salting food and stuff can be more popular way of preservation.
Whales aren't as common at least some rare school of smaller variety.
The water masses arent as large to support their migration paths. however, the deeper reaches of certain ocean beds (being at the crux of some faultlines) does mean unusual sea creatures as well .
Fungi, mushrooms and moss types are more common and diverse given that they probably need more moisture than most plants to thrive.
