Pangasius is now the number one consumed fish in the Netherlands, replacing canned tuna.
Consumption of pangasius from Vietnam in the Netherlands in 2011 was just over 5,500 metric tons, up from 4,600 metric tons the previous year, according to the Dutch Fish Promotion Board.
This takes pangasius to the top of the list of seafood consumed in the Netherlands, with canned tuna dropping to number two.
Fresh consumption is flat at around 1,000 metric tons, but frozen consumption is booming, up from 3,600 metric tons in 2010 to 4,500 metric tons in 2011.
