A recent study by the Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) has highlighted a shift in Korea's seafood consumption towards imported live and fresh refrigerated products, with salmon and yellowtail being the most popular. The research, which analyzed data from 2000 to 2021, revealed an annual average increase in imports of these products. An online survey by KMI also found that consumer awareness of imported salmon has risen due to increased Norwegian imports and non-face-to-face consumption.
