Despite this, the market is expected to grow as consumers become more knowledgeable about the benefits of incorporating seafood into their diets.

Customer preferences:

This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of fishing practices and a desire for fresher and more nutritious options. Additionally, with the rise of social media and food blogging, there is a greater emphasis on visually appealing and unique seafood dishes, leading to a rise in demand for exotic and lesser-known varieties.
