I think settling in place is the way to go and start on a warrior to let the city grow whilst we wait for fishing to the go for a workboat. But before Fishing, I'd go for Meditation to get Buddhism. One problem I see with this is that we don't have any commerce cells to work so we won't be getting to Meditation in a hurry and if we have another spiritual leader out there we may lose out.
