Britain is surrounded by productive waters, lands a wide variety of fish and shellfish, and has chefs who describe its seafood as some of the best in the world. Yet the national diet still leans surprisingly narrow when it comes to what people actually put on the plate.

The strange part is not that Britain dislikes seafood altogether. It is that the country often exports much of what it catches, imports much of what it eats, and keeps returning to the same familiar choices while lesser-known local species remain overlooked. Seafish says the UK supplies more than 60 commercial species of fish and shellfish, but consumption is still concentrated around a much smaller group.
