Demand among Chinese seafood consumers is moving more toward imported products, said Stone Wang, general manager of the Chang International facility in Qingdao when IntraFish visited earlier this month.

With more than 100 SKUs, Seattle and China-based seafood processor Chang International looks to diversify and has found a recent growing interest in toothfish and other imported species among its Chinese customers.

"We target a market that is a little more high-end," said Wang. He added the top species among his Chinese clients are sea bass, black cod, wild shrimp and pacific cod.
