"Our Taiwanese magic is making tuna taste like fried chicken. We wanted to be able to engage in the U.S. market, and we found that fried foods are the way."
"It's been a big trend for the last couple of years. It makes it more palatable to people who aren't big seafood fans. Especially with things like these sliders, it gives them an entry point."
The seafood industry is adapting to American tastes by transforming fish into products that resemble popular meat dishes. Companies are creating items like tuna nuggets and shrimp burgers to engage consumers who typically prefer meat over seafood. Americans consume only about 19 pounds of seafood annually, significantly less than the global average. This trend of disguising seafood is not new, but recent innovations aim to make fish more palatable and accessible to a broader audience.
