Frozen Fish

In parts of coastal Florida, where warm weather is traditionally enjoyed year-round, cold snaps have severely affected marine life.

U.S. citizens who dine on seafood eat about 16 pounds of it each year.

The average American ate 16 pounds (about 7.2 kilograms) of fish and shellfish in 2008, down .3 pounds (.14 kilograms) from 2007.
