I live in Vietnam and I can believe it. Here's a map of the world showing where people eat fish. It is basically a list of places where Americans are unlikely to go.

Asia accounts for 71% of world fish consumption. In places like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia fish makes up over 50% of all animal protein consumed.
Unless you've travelled widely in Asia, especially outside of the rich up & coming cities with restaurants catering to foreign tourist palates and ate in local places, it would make sense that you haven't seen it.
- porknubbins 6y agoThats an interesting map, I did not realize that fish was such a big source of protein in those countries, although even at 10gr/day its not a huge component of the diet so overall animal protein must be low.
- ketzo 6y agoI was curious, so I looked it up -- it seems like fish is about 25% protein by volume at most, so that's ~40g or 1.4oz; definitely not a ton.
