The federal government recently reported that the overall seafood volume was 4,650,000,000 pounds. The data also showed American seafood companies exported a record 3.3 billion pounds valued at $5.4 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis data shows the importance of the US seafood market, which is now the second largest in the world. Strong export numbers confirm that our customers in Europe and Asia value sustainable and healthy American seafood products,\u201d said John Connelly, president of the National Fisheries Institute. \u201cThe seafood sector is growing in the volume and value of seafood we can provide to consumers here and abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

While America\u2019s palate may not be as adventurous as some when it comes to seafood, experts say that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe continued popularity of mild white fish, like Alaska pollock, is actually good news. These are often considered starter-fish, which indicates Americans are finding ways to eat seafood in which they never did before,\u201d said Jennifer McGuire MS, RD, NFI\u2019s manager of nutrition communications. \u201cWhether it\u2019s in tacos or on the grill, swapping in seafood for the usual proteins will mean significant public health benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
