what are the favorite fish of the French?

A French person consumes an average of 33.5 kilos of fish and shellfish each year, an increase of 16.7% in 20 years. France is thus in fifth place on the European podium, behind Portugal, Spain, Malta and Luxembourg. “Even if we are fond of mussels, French oysters, we buy a lot abroad”reports journalist Sandrine Feydel, present, Monday, May 2, on the set of 19/20.

Among the favorite fish of the French are salmon, tuna and prawns. “The problem is that we produce almost none. As a result, we import them”. A total of 182,000 tonnes of salmon are imported each year, 140,000 of tuna and 114,000 of shrimp. To limit dependence, the journalist recommends “to turn to small-scale French coastal fishing”of “diversifying the fish we eat” but also from “eat less”.
