The fresh fish market in Romania has seen minimal growth due to factors such as low consumer awareness, limited access to digital technologies, and a preference for traditional purchasing methods. Despite these challenges, online seafood sales are slowly gaining traction, driven by increasing health consciousness and convenience for customers.

This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the impact of overfishing on the environment and a desire to support local fishermen. Additionally, there is a rising demand for organic and locally sourced seafood due to health concerns and a desire for fresher products. These shifts in consumer preferences are being influenced by a younger generation that is more environmentally conscious and health-conscious, as well as a growing middle-class population with higher disposable incomes. As a result, there has been an increase in the availability of sustainably sourced and organic fish in the market, and retailers are adapting to meet this demand.
