Three in four Italians will be
eating fish on Christmas Eve, according to a survey by the
federation of fishery cooperatives Federcoopesca-Confcooperative
released on Tuesday.
The federation reported a 5% increase in sales on last year
and said Italians will spend over 550 million euros between the
Christmas and New Year holidays.
A reported 80% of those polled by the federation said they
will be buying high-quality fish and Federcoopesca said they
have created an app for smart phones enabling consumers to shop
responsibly.
The app, called 'Che pesce sono?', or what kind of fish am I,
describes the 30 species mainly sold on the Italian market,
describing their nutritional qualities, among other things.
