    From SeafoodNews on December 23, due to the extremely high price of Alaskan cod surimi, more and more surimi product manufacturers began to choose southern surimi or Russian surimi to replace Alaskan cod surimi
    .
     
    In particular, the cost performance of Russian surimi is better than expected, more and more manufacturers are showing interest in it, and Japanese importers are also increasing their purchases
    .
     
    Industry insiders said that the market price peak is imminent, the surimi market is weakening, and may soon decline
    .
     
    Expectations of a decline in the market were supported by a sharp increase in U.
    S.
    Alaskan cod production next year, a temporary halt to appreciation and stabilization of the yen, and an increase in surimi stocks
    .
