The 2023 data on European fish nominal expenditure per capita reveals Iceland leading at €459, followed by Portugal (€415) and Spain (€289), indicating a high preference for fish. Countries like Macedonia and Hungary show the lowest expenditure, reflecting either lower fish consumption or limited market offerings. The general decline in the middle and Eastern European markets is noticeable. Portugal, southern European regions, and the Nordics exhibit resilience in maintaining their traditional diet.
Future trends to watch include evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally-sourced seafood, as well as potential shifts driven by economic conditions or climate change impacting the fish supply chain in Europe.
