This paper argues that seafood should play a more prominent role in debates about food systems transformation in the UK. We discuss the connections between seafood and the broader food system, and consider seafood’s potential role in food systems transformation in the UK. 

We unpack the opportunities this presents, as well as the challenges — including seafood’s overseas impacts. We analyse future visions for seafood in the UK and build on calls for these visions to be integrated into discussions on the future of the UK food system.
