The U.K.'s diverse culinary scene incorporates a wide range of international cuisines, many of which feature shrimp prominently. Consumers enjoy shrimp in dishes such as prawn cocktails, seafood curries, and sushi, driving the overall market. This rising demand for seafood, including shrimp, in the U.K. can be attributed to changing dietary preferences resulting from a growing interest in healthier eating habits.

Shrimp is considered a low calorie and high-protein option, making it popular among health-conscious consumers. According to Seafish, a U.K. public body that publishes regular blogs on the seafood industry, a report disclosed in June 2022 seafood consumption in the country reached a pivotal point with a boost to seafood consumed through retail channels.

In December 2021, approximately 66% of seafood consumption in the country was done through retail channels, while the remaining portion was distributed through foodservice establishments and a limited number of independent fishmongers. Retail outlets such as supermarkets and grocery stores are widely accessible to consumers across the U.K.
