October 18, 2026 — U.S. fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable seafood sales rose by both value and volume in September, marking the first time all three categories saw year-over-year growth in months.
Fresh seafood price inflation rose 3.3 percent, but sales by volume in the category still grew 4.8 percent, while sales by value increased 5.8 percent to USD 666 million (EUR 595 million), according to Lakeland, Florida, U.S.A.-based 210 Analytics, which analyzes Circana data. The dollar sales growth was a combination of inflation, which was up 0.9 percent on a per-pound basis, and demand-driven growth, 210 Analytics Principal Anne-Marie Roerink told SeafoodSource.
