WHAT TO SOURCE IN SEAFOOD RIGHT NOW

These remain top-tier “destination” products for buyers because they command premium pricing, have strong consumer recognition and reliable supply chains from origins like Norway and Canada.

With global exports surging, particularly from producers in Ecuador and India, shrimp in frozen or further-processed (peeled, deveined, marinated) formats is a key product category to source for scale and turnover.

Products like skipjack and yellowfin tuna satisfy both high-volume and premium segments useful for global buyers targeting bundled formats, canned or frozen.

The demand for convenience is rising. Buyers should focus on marinated, breaded, smoked, or ready-meals derived from seafood formats that reduce handling and increase margins.

The broader seafood value-chain is growing. By-products from processing (fish meal, fish oil, collagen) offer new sourcing opportunities, especially for buyers looking at full value chain integration.

As traditional supply gets saturated, buyers should explore niche species and freshwater-farmed lines that are scaling rapidly and differentiate product portfolios.

Cell-cultured seafood, sea-weed linked products, and novel formats are early but strategic. Buyers who source early can access premium-margin segments and future-proof their sourcing.
