# List of countries by seafood consumption

This list of countries by seafood consumption gives a comprehensive overview that ranks nations worldwide based on their annual seafood consumption per capita. Seafood includes fish and other important marine animals. While national meat consumption correlates strongly with indicators like GDP per capita, this correlation is less intense with seafood consumption. Seafood plays a vital role in some poorer states, serving as a significant source of protein and essential nutrients. Please note that the data presented here is based on the most recently available information, and consumption patterns may evolve.

## Seafood consumption by country

Countries (some territories like Hong Kong are also included) are ranked by the available per capita supply of fish and other seafood at the consumer level. It does not account for food loss and waste at the consumer level (like in gastronomy or in households).
