Shrimp was once again the most
popular seafood for Americans in 2011.
Shrimp has topped the most popular
seafood list for years – last year Americans ate 4.2 pounds of shrimp apiece.
That’s up from 4 pounds each in
2010.
Number two on the list was canned
tuna – we ate about 2.6 pounds per American last year.
Salmon rounded out the top three.
Other popular seafoods in 2011
included Alaska Pollock, Tilapia, catfish, crab,
cod and clams.
The
federal government recently reported that the overall seafood volume was 4.6
billion pounds pounds.
The
data also showed American seafood companies exported a record 3.3 billion
pounds of seafood last year valued at $5.4 billion dollars.
