Question

Are ASIANS the biggest consumers of Fish and Seafood ?? a healthier diet than the western one :-))....:-((?

Answer 1

I believe Americans import more sea foods than any nations.

America's import of sea foods , several billion dollars, even surpass our oil import  !!!....( I read it somewhere, you can check it out)

Our shrimp import alone is close to 5 billion dollars. Our main exporter of sea foods are China, Ecuador, Thailand & other South American countries.

Answer 2

I couldn't say as a whole, but typically Asian diets are far more heavier in the veggies and rice and not so much on the meat and fish. Americans have a tendency to make the meat the larger part of the meal when it should be the opposite.

Many Asians don't eat all the c**p we do like sugar and fast food and processed food as a daily staples.

Although in some Asian countries, that is changing unfortunately. I knew someone who recently came back from Tokyo and mentioned how many fat young Japanese people he saw compared to 10 years ago. He said there are 100s of American style fast food chains all over the place and the stores are filled with junk food.

Answer 3

Hmm....I think even the Scandanavian countries consume a lot of fish, Herrings, Salmon, Trout you name it and they eat!

Answer 4

Scandinavian people (norway, sweden, denmark, finland) also eat a lot of fish I think. Not sure about Innuit diet though :-)

Answer 5

some fish have a high level of mercury, so if you were eating a diet high in fish, there is a chance that you would have unsafe levels of mercury in your body.

Answer 6

More accustomed than whom? Probably more so than folks in the Mid west, but those of us here in the Mid atlantic, especially in Maryland and surrounding regions have crabs, shrimp, fish, oysters and the like pretty regularly. Now, we probably don't usually prepare them as healthfully as most Asians. Probably way more  frying and rich sauces.
