Where do you think the country that eats the most fish in the world? I think it's Japan. But it seems to be different.

TripAdvisor has released the infographic "Top 25 Fish and Shellfish Consumption in the World". Here is a summary of the TOP25 of how much fish is consumed in countries around the world.



According to it, the first place is Maldives, which is popular as a resort in the Indian Ocean, and its consumption is 381 g per person per day. It doesn't come out well even if it is said, but it seems that this is about 5 medium-sized sardines. Japanese people don't eat that much. It can't be helped, let's admit losing.
According to TripAdvisor, the islands of the Maldives are small, and because they are made of sand made of coral, it is difficult to livestock, and inevitably they have come to seek protein sources from fish. is. It seems that the method of manufacturing dried bonito is also developed like in Japan. I didn't know. Next time I go to Maldives, I have to buy dried bonito!



Japan consumes 155g (5.47oz) per person per day, the sixth largest in the world. It seems that he eats more than three times the world average (51g (1.8oz)). Did you eat so much when you said that? , And lose confidence. But on the day I went to conveyor belt sushi, maybe I was eating ridiculously? Maybe that's raising the average? ??

So what is the most eaten fish in Japan? Looking at the annual purchase volume in 2011, it seems that salmon is ranked first, squid is ranked second, and tuna is ranked third.

As an aside, I have seen "Sazae-san" with an American friend before. However, he couldn't understand that the characters had fish names such as "bonito" and "salmon roe", and he had a headache when he couldn't remember the names. Americans usually don't eat anything other than catfish and salmon. I feel that the names of Sazae-san's characters come to my mind because Japanese people are usually familiar with fish.
