Mean of the LiveQuote indexes of 125 materials, as of 4 November 2026.

Seafood prices firmed slightly over the past quarter, but the average hides wide gaps. As of 4 November 2026, the 126 indexed seafood materials were up 1.1% on average over three months and 7.2% over a year. Seventy-eight rose, 46 fell and 2 were unchanged. The group spans 138 materials in five families, from whitefish and salmon to squid and oysters.

Fish did most of the lifting, up 2.6% over three months and 9.6% over a year, and supplied 54 of the 78 risers. Crustaceans gained 0.5%. Shellfish were roughly flat at -0.2% over the quarter, despite an 8.6% rise on the year. Cephalopods fell 2.3%, and processed seafood, a family of only two materials, lost 2.0%.

Skate and ray topped the risers: skate jumped 28.1% over three months and thornback ray 26.3%, with sockeye salmon next at +17.8%. The sharpest declines were in mullet, down 18.6%, clam, down 17.6%, and European flying squid, down 16.0%. Over twelve months, Chilean jack mackerel leads the group with a 56.0% rise.

Several species have recent market notes, current to 2 November. Salmon prices rose for a second successive week on 30 October, the salmon notes report. For Alaska pollock, up 11.3% over three months and 42.8% over a year, they cite record US pollock fillet export prices on 10 September and a B-season output well below 2025.

In shellfish, the clam note, dated 6 October, describes a poor start to the Arousa estuary harvesting campaign on 1 October, with few boats and low prices. In tuna, Bangkok skipjack tuna prices hit a record high on 15 October and held firm on 22 October as canneries sought discounts for November.
