Americans ate 15.8 pounds of seafood per capita in 2009, down slightly from 16 pounds in 2008 and just ten varieties made up more than 88 percent of that consumption. The National Fisheries Institutes (NFI) Top Ten list for 2009 reveals the top two spots remain occupied by Shrimp and Canned Tuna and that while Salmon, Alaska Pollock and Tilapia each saw an increase in consumption they maintained their spots.
