Fish was common poor food back in the day, because back then the sea's supply was basically infinite compared to the population.

Also meat wasn't a rare luxury, it was more of a mild luxury. Like for a poor person today going out to eat might not be a daily thing, but they are still able to do it with some degree of regularity. Everyone was a farmer so it's not like they didn't have plenty of chickens and other location dependent livestock.

So between fish and a smaller amount of landmeat, most medieval people were probably eating meat on a regular basis, but obviously a much smaller amount than modern people. But Amerilards love to read history and go "omg people werent able to eat pounds upon pounds of meat every day??? how horrible!".
