A new poll shows a majority of British Columbians prefer wild-caught or harvested fish and seafood.
More British Columbians eat seafood and fish every week than any other region in Canada, a new poll has found.
“This is kind of a benchmark. We don't really know much about Canadian habits with regards to seafood purchasing,” said Colombo, who is also a Canada Research Chair in Aquaculture Nutrition. “People in B.C. are caring more about environment and sustainability when they're making seafood choices of any other region,” said Colombo.
Most Canadians overwhelmingly preferred wild seafood. Again, B.C. respondents led all regions with nearly 68 per cent saying they preferred wild-caught or harvested fish and seafood. “The highest is Atlantic Canada, and the lowest is B.C. — interesting to look at that divide between coasts,” said Colombo. “I think it's the conversation around salmon aquaculture in B.C. right now. But we didn't ask about that in the survey.”
