Cod consumption in retail has been growing since 2013, as supply eases and prices soften. In 2015, cod total retail sales (excluding discounters) were worth £364m (+2.4%) at 44,887 tonnes (+3.6%), with an average price of £8.10 (-1.1%).

Total seafood - the sum of chilled, frozen and ambient seafood sectors, continues the long term pattern of price driven growth.. Salmon continues to dominate total seafood with a 33% value share of the top ten species, selling over twice the amount of cod, its nearest competitor. However, the shoppers long term love of salmon may be coming to an end, as salmon volume fell over both the long and short term. Shoppers are instead choosing other farmed species such as warm water prawns, basa, seabass and sea bream. Traditional species have also recently begun to regain popularity with shoppers: with cod, haddock, cold water prawns and ‘mixed seafood’ returning to volume growth.
