dc.description.abstractFish is a food that is recommended to be consumed at least twice a week. But the amount of consumptionis not at the desired level in our country, Turkey. This study was conducted to determine the amount,frequency, consumption and purchasing preferences of fish consumed by adults at three differentsocioeconomic levels in Kayseri and to determine consumers’ knowledge about healthy nutrition and fishconsumption. A descriptive, cross-sectional research study was conducted on 1000 adults living in threedifferent socioeconomic regions in Kayseri province center. Data were gathered by a questionnaireprepared with the support from a literature review. The median weekly fish consumption per capita was93 g (3–1000) in Kocasinan, 117 g (17–1000) in Talas and 117 g (16–600) in Melikgazi according to thesocioeconomic regions. Fish were often consumed freshly and in winter. Only 21.6% of the participantsconsumed fish 1–2 times a week, as recommended. This rate increased, as the socioeconomic levelincreased. It is suggested that the accessibility of fish in Kayseri be increased and that studies should becarried out to raise awareness and educate people on the importance of fish consumption and its effectson health.
