Seafood in Australia

With an AU Gov analysis of 2019-2020 data estimating that each Australian consumed 12.4kg of seafood in one year and a more recent study forecasting that Australians will purchase the same amount of seafood online as they would bottled water in 2022, it’s fair to say it’s a well-loved speciality across the country.

To commemorate the nation's love for a fishy dish, our experts have analysed Google search data to reveal the favourite seafood stars.

Salmon is Australia's Favourite Seafood

As the top searched speciality across seven out of eight of the territories and claiming high percentages of search volume across the larger territories, the trusted salmon takes the crown.

Whether you prefer traditional seafood dishes starring salmon such as Lemon Pepper Salmon or Herb-Crusted Salmon and Mash or you’re more of an experimental eater ready to give Ponzu Salmon Poke Bowl a try - you can enhance the flavours of the favoured salmon and mould it your preferred cuisines.
<h2> <font color="#1BADE2">Northern Territory Prefer Barramundi Seafood Dishes</font> </h2>

Northern Territory Prefer Barramundi Seafood Dishes

The Northern Territory, however, swam out alone with barramundi being their top searched for seafood. This isn't surprising either with it having the largest number of barramundi fish available in the whole of Australia.

If there's one thing that we do well here at HelloFresh Australia, it's a great barramundi recipe. Dishes like Salt and Pepper Barramundi , Soy and Ginger Baramundi and even Garlic and Herb Barramundi all offer exciting tastses to this popular fish.

The Best Spices and Seasoning For Seafood Recipes

As much as we enjoy seafood, the magic really is in how we cook it and what spices we include to give it an extra boost of flavour. Spices that will enhance the flavour of your favourite seafood include:

  • Ginger - aromatic and zesty ginger will add Asian fusion to your seafood dish
  • Paprika - the smokiness of the paprika will add depth to your seafood dishes that cannot be emulated
  • Garlic - unsuspecting, being such a strong flavour, but garlic can add a delicate punch that compliments seafood
  • Parsley - If you favour more classic pairings then parsley is for you, a herb that really lets the seafood be the star
