Key Findings - 300 000 extra Salmon consumers over an average 7 days compared to 2014 figures. Salmon consumption increases concentrated in the main population centres - NSW, VIC, QLD.
Since we last reported on Australia’s salmon consumption two years ago, the proportion of the population eating it in an average seven days has inched up from 24% to 25%. While this doesn’t sound like much, it translates to an additional 300,000 people enjoying the pink fish – and benefitting from its famously healthy qualities -- per week.
This growth in consumption occurred in most states, with the greatest uptake being in Victoria (where 26% of residents now eat salmon in an average seven days, up from 23% two years earlier) and Queensland (24%, up from 22%). New South Wales remains the country’s most avid salmon-eating state at 28% (up marginally from 27% in 2014).
However, two states saw their salmon consumption decline: South Australia (down to 18% from 21% in 2014), and – ironically, given its flourishing salmon-farming industry – Tasmania. Whereas 27% of Apple Islanders ate salmon in any given seven days back in 2014, this figure now sits at 23%. Salmon consumption by state: 2014 vs 2016
