Bulgaria: Fish and Seafood Market Brief
Although Bulgaria’s per capita fish and seafood consumption is below the European Union (EU) average, importers seek to expand the selection of fish available on the local market, especially in mid and high-value ranges. 2017 U.S. hake and mackerel exports to Bulgaria increased by 163 percent and 29 percent respectively. U.S. squid and lobster exports were also higher. The restaurant sector is an important driver for fish and seafood demand growth in Bulgaria.
