  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Trade Liberation and Fish Consumption Author: Honkanen, Asmo, Setälä, Jari, Saarni, Kaija Finland became a member of the European Union (EU) in 1995. After that the food market has changed radically. At the same time the eating away from home has become increasingly common. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of fish consumption in the Finnish catering service sector. The focus is to evaluate the period during rapid market changes. The estimation of fish consumption was based on a statistical sample and the data was collected in 1988, 1991, 1994 and 2005. It was found that the fish consumption has increased 30 per cent during the last ten years. The growth is exclusively based on imported fish. All types of imported fish products were used for meals more than earlier, but the consumption of fresh fish products has grown most extensively. The consumption of salmon and salmon trout increased most, while domestic caught Baltic herring is considerably less important than earlier. The frequency of serving fish meals has also increased. The abolition of national trade restrictions on fresh fish has inevitably had an impact on the consumption of fish in the catering sector.
