Seafood represents a nutritious source of protein for many Canadians, including substantial amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and niacin. Many national and international dietary guidelines recommend regular consumption of seafood to support a healthy diet. The consumption of seafood continues to gain public attention due to its role in a healthy diet and its influence on environmental sustainability.
