Flying fish Take 1997 for example. In that year, Taiwanese imported 560,000 kilos of lobster, more than seven million kilos of serrated crabs, more than 1 million kilos of abalone, and more than two million kilos of scallops. Imports of salmon, priced low enough to be widely accessible, reached 12 million kilos.
以八十六年為例，國人一年吃掉五十六萬公斤的龍蝦、七百多萬公斤的蟳、一百多萬公斤的鮑魚、兩百多萬公斤的海扇貝，至於算是平價的鮭魚，一年進口更高達一千兩百多萬公斤。
