The Fresh Catering Companies union predicts that the price of smoked salmon and trout will increase slightly for end-of-year celebrations, but it will be half as strong as the increase seen in 2022. The president of the ETF "smoked salmon and trout" group estimates that a 40 gram slice of smoked salmon will cost an additional 5 to 10 cents for the holidays. Despite price increases, the festive meal industry remains strong, with increased purchases in December 2022, and the majority of salmon imports come from Norway and Scotland.
