“Consumers are misled when they buy 500 grams of fish that is actually only 400 grams of fish and 100 grams of water. This is fish without the same nutritional value as other whitefish,” said Aker Seafoods CEO Yngve Myhre at last week’s North Atlantic Seafood Forum.
Last year, the European Union and United States imported a total of 1.4 million metric tons of tropical white fish, mainly pangasius and tilapia. Six years earlier this figure was at 200,000 metric tons.
