This trend is driven by the growing awareness of the environmental impact of overfishing and the importance of supporting local fishermen. Additionally, there is a rising preference for fresh and unprocessed fish and seafood, as consumers become more health-conscious and prioritize natural and organic options. These changing preferences reflect a larger shift towards sustainable and ethical consumption in the region.
