Salmon fillets represent a cornerstone of the global seafood trade, renowned for their rich flavor, omega-3 content, and versatility. The market is dominated by farmed Atlantic salmon, primarily from Norway and Chile, which supply major retail chains and food service industries worldwide. Wild Pacific salmon fillets, often from Alaska and Canada, command premium prices due to their seasonal availability and distinct taste profiles. Importers range from large supermarket chains and seafood distributors in North America, Europe, and Asia, to high-end restaurants. Key aspects of this trade include stringent quality control, rapid logistics to maintain freshness, and increasing consumer demand for sustainably sourced or certified products, driving innovation in aquaculture and fishery management practices globally.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
