About This Dataset
Fish and Seafood Consumption by Country 2022Iceland leads with 85.4 kg of fish per person per year, around 5 kg ahead of the Maldives on 80. Iceland's 2022 figure is slightly higher than its 2023 total of 83.8 kg, so consumption eased marginally rather than grew. Every country in the top ten is an island, a territory or a nation defined by its coastline. Kiribati on 73.4 and Tuvalu on 54.8 represent the Pacific, while Hong Kong on 68.9 and Macao on 62 are dense coastal cities built around seafood cuisine. Portugal at 53.6 is Europe's clear leader and the only Mediterranean country present. South Korea's 52.8 is the highest of any large economy, ahead of Japan, whose seafood reputation outstrips its current intake.
