Australian Seafood

Australia is a country that has an abundance of seafood supply, providing residents and tourists with a rich variety of seafood options. Here in Australia, you ought to try the fresh oysters from the Sydney Fish Market, or barramundi from the Northern Territory, as well as different varieties and flavours of fresh lobster -- Australia offers endless possibilities for seafood.

In 2013, Australia's seafood exports totalled more than $1 billion, compared with $1.4 billion in 2017 -- largely due to surging trade with China. Rock lobster is the fastest-growing seafood export, followed by abalone, salmon, sea cucumber, live coral, trout, crab and shrimp.

In recent years, China has gradually become one of the largest export markets for Australian seafood. A growing number of Chinese consumers want to buy imported seafood because of concerns about food safety in China, with the country expected to account for 38 percent of global fish consumption by 2030, a report stated. The entry into force of the China-Australia trade agreement has also boosted Australia's seafood exports to China -- direct seafood exports to China totalled $385 million in 2017, up from just $8,500 a year earlier.
