"This Christmas season, cod will be one of the most common dishes on the Portuguese table. But this species is not caught in Portuguese territorial waters, but imported", says Pordata, in a post shared on social network X.

In 2022, 121,069 tons of freshwater and marine fish, crustaceans and molluscs were caught in Portugal. However, this value has been decreasing over the years, as in 1969, 333,695 tons of fish were caught.
