“…The quantity and nature of seafood consumption in the U.S. has been found to vary by geographic area and by demographic factors ( Singh et al, 2014 ). Other studies have focused on consumer preferences for frozen seafood purchased in supermarkets ( Dey et al, 2014 , Dey et al, 2017 ; Surathkal et al, 2017 ). Thapa et al (2015) analyzed consumer preferences for live seafood in the Asian ethnic markets in the northeastern region of USA.…”

“…Americans spend $102 billion each year on seafood, predominantly at food service venues (e.g., restaurants, institutional food) [ 7 ], however, this finding has not been independently verified. Retail scanner data can explain market trends among grocery shoppers by product, region, and season [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], but these analyses have been limited to frozen and canned seafood and do not include fresh seafood. Consumers note preferences to purchase familiar types of seafood, which limits the demand for diverse fish types [ 11 ].…”

The aim of this study was to explore United States (U.S.) seafood consumption patterns, food sourcing, expenditures, and geography of consumption. We analyzed seafood intake and food sourcing using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles 2007–2008 to 2015–2016 for US adults ≥19 years old (n = 26,743 total respondents; n = 4957 respondents consumed seafood in the past 24 h). Seafood expenditures were extrapolated by combining NHANES with three other public datasets. U.S. adults consumed 63% of seafood (by weight) at home. The top sources of seafood (by weight) were food retail (56%), restaurants (31%), and caught by the respondent or someone they know (5%). Sixty-five percent of consumer expenditures for seafood were at restaurants and other “away from home” sources while 35% were at retail and other “at home” sources. Slightly less than half of overall U.S. food expenditures are “away from home,” which is much lower than for seafood, suggesting that consumers have very different spending habits for seafood than for an aggregate of all foods.

“…Demand for luxury goods is price elastic, in contrast to goods that are so-called necessities and are characterized by inelastic demand. There is some evidence of products considered to be necessities and price-inelastic, including some frozen and prepared finfish (Surathkal, Dey, Engle, Chidmi, & Singh, 2017). In the case where under-utilized species may be a necessity, demand may increase proportionally by those on lower incomes.…”

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950, polymath, playwright, Nobel prize winner, and the most prolific letter writer in history, was an advocate of English spelling reform. He was reportedly fond of pointing out its absurdities by proving that 'fish' could be spelt 'ghoti'. That is: 'gh' as in 'rough', 'o' as in 'women' and 'ti' as in palatial. Etymology of Ghoti
