The pandemic brought on a burger and pizza feast for much of the U.S., but don’t overlook the moment seafood is having right now. With the world shifting its focus to protecting the oceans and a need for sustainable protein, seafood has emerged as a viable alternative to other meats.

Plus, with poke bowls sweeping the nation as a high-protein healthy dish, the growth potential becomes almost as vast as the sea itself.
