Canadian fish and seafood industry - statistics & facts
Fish and seafood is often lauded as a healthier, lighter option than a steak or a pork cutlet. Growing populations, changing attitudes towards meat consumption, and the rise in the number of people following a pescatarian diet may have pushed global fish production to rise in recent years. As a country with a huge coastline and an abundance of pristine lakes and rivers, it comes as no surprise that Canada has a thriving fish and seafood industry, exporting about 83 million U.S. dollars of freshwater fish in 2022.
