Spain Seafood Market Growth Factors

With over 7900 kilometers of coastline, Spain has the largest fishing industry in the world that benefits from a wide variety of fish and shellfish resources. Cod, hake, and mackerel fill throughout the North Atlantic and shrimp, mussels, and clams fill throughout the Mediterranean Sea. The region has a variety of ecosystems so a wide variety of products are available for local use and export. Plus, the ocean being near rich fishing grounds reduces shipping time and offers fresh products for domestic and international markets.

Tradition may also have a role in the high demand for seafood; fish and seafood are popular staples of Spanish cooking, and are featured in such national dishes as paella, seafood stews, and tapas. Seafood, both fresh and caught locally is used extensively, both in the normal shopping of the household, and for special occasions. A strong influence is the tourist trade seeking authentic Spanish food. This cultural attachment ensures that seafood products have year-round demand.

With a fishing industry and fleet among the largest in the European Union (EU), characterized by its technologically advanced trawlers but also by its more customary artisanal fishing, Spain has an advanced navigation and processing sector. Artisanal fishing, involving selective catches, makes a meaningful contribution to the sustainability of the fishing industry by maintaining balance with the natural environment. The presence of port and processing facilities close to distribution facilities means that seafood can be delivered quickly from sea to supermarket.
