Norwegian Seafood Seminar

South Koreans’ favourite fish is mackerel on weekdays, weekends and in the restaurant, which makes it the king of seafood in the country.

Norwegian seafood goes hand in hand with modern food trends in China. In 2018, export of salmon increased by 205% and the total value hit a record high at NOK 3.7 billion. In the coming years, the Chinese seafood consumption is expected to significantly increase, driving further demand for Norwegian seafood products.

Norwegian salmon and mackerel are thriving in the Japanese market. While salmon is a popular dish for young people in restaurants, more and more people are choosing a mackerel sandwich on weekdays.

With 7.5 million inhabitants and a per capita seafood consumption of 69.8 kg – which is among the highest in the world – Hong Kong is a large and seafood-hungry market.
