Fisheries organization: plentiful supply of fish, price changes are not expected

The festive fish supply is plentiful as the weather is favorable for farming and consumer prices are unchanged, compared to last year – the spokesman of the Hungarian Aquaculture and Fisheries Trade Organization (MA-HAL) said.

Lévai Ferenc spokesman and CEO of Aranyponty Zrt. emphasized that the most popular fish at Christmas is the carp, which is priced at around 890-1200 HUF per kilogram this year. Carp is also responsible for about 65 percent of Christmas sales, of which more than 18,000 tonnes were produced last year.

Many people are looking for domestic gray or African catfish for the year-end holidays. Catfish are available for 2500-3200 HUF per kilogram.
