Rising prices continue to hammer salmon sales at UK retail outlets, according to the latest NielsenIQ ScanTrack data provided by UK seafood trade association Seafish.
The volume of salmon sold during the 52-week period through Aug. 12 slid 10 percent to 62,989 metric tons, while the value of those sales climbed 2.5 percent to £1.24 billion (€1.4 billion/$1.5 billion), largely due to a 13.8 percent increase in the average price per kilo for salmon, which hit £19.66 (€22.90/$24.50) in the period.
