It has been found that the participants give importance to fish consumption, they prefer to eat fish because it is healthy, and it is the recommendation of family and friends that make them willing to consume a new fish species. In the consumption of fish, they prefer to consume fresh, fried fish, which are hunted and purchased from the fishermen’s stall.
