European consumers have increasingly turned to shrimps and prawns. Certain new fish species have also become very successful, for example Pangasius (Vietnamese catfish) and Nile perch. Volumes are increasing rapidly. Filleted fish is gaining share at the expense of whole fish throughout the Union. Consumers demand more convenience in their purchases of seafood. Also value-added products such as smoked fish, ready-made fish products and fish-based ready meals are becoming more popular. A remarkable trend is the development of new seafood products for special occasions or for special enjoyment.
