The UK restaurant scene continues to evolve, and seafood remains one of the most in-demand menu categories. Here are the top 5 seafood species driving wholesale orders in 2026.
1. Atlantic Salmon
Still the number one choice. Farm-raised Atlantic salmon offers consistent sizing, year-round availability, and exceptional versatility — from sushi-grade portions to smoked preparations.
2. Black Tiger Prawns
Available in sizes from U5 to 16/20, they suit everything from fine dining to gastropub menus. Sweet flavour and excellent freezer stability.
3. Norwegian Cod
MSC-certified Norwegian cod remains the cornerstone of British food culture. Demand for traceable, sustainable cod is at record highs.
4. King Scallops
Scottish and Irish king scallops command premium menu prices and deliver exceptional margins. Hand-dived scallops tell a story diners pay for.
5. Yellowfin Tuna
Sashimi-grade yellowfin tuna, blast-frozen at sea, delivers the quality discerning chefs demand at wholesale pricing.
