Compared to all other proteins, the US has long way to go in its seafood consumption, High Liner CEO Henry Demone told the audience in his opening address at the IntraFish Media Seafood Investment Forum in New York City.
The forum, co-hosted by Arctic Securities and Paine + Partners, was opened with Demone’s keynote demonstrating that not only does the seafood industry have room for major consolidation, but also organic growth through increased consumption.
Demone also highlights a case rarely made in the seafood industry -- that it’s environmental footprint is much smaller than in other proteins.
