Let's cut straight to the chase, Americans eat a lot of fish - a massive amount. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Americans that eat fish ate a staggering 19.2 pounds of fish and shellfish in 2019. Harvard also found that most Americans eat fish or shellfish at least once per week. It is safe to say that Americans absolutely love their seafood! However, fresh and high-quality seafood is hard to find, depending on where you live. After all, not every state is known for its seafood. Obviously, the best place to buy seafood is from a seafood market that specializes in all things seafood. However, if you don't have one of those close to you - the next option is a grocery store. A major national media publication just recently published a story naming grocery chains with the best seafood departments, and a popular grocery chain in NC came in at #1! In this article, we will see which publication published the story, which grocery chain came in at #1, as well as take a look at other grocery chains that made the list!
