Fish & Seafood Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis

We’ve come a long way from the pork as the “other white meat” slogans popularized during the 1980s, but the fact remains that the desire to identify sources of animal protein beyond red meat and even pork or poultry is shaping and reshaping the U.S. food industry. Fish and seafood have emerged as essential alternatives to more commonly regarded sources of animal protein.

Overall, there is greater consumer awareness that most forms of fish and seafood are healthy alternatives to meat, and are loaded with “good” fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. This has raised the profile of salmon, sardines, mackerel, anchovies, tuna, and even tilapia and catfish.
