Abstract: This study aimed to assess fish consumption and fish products preference in the dietary pattern at household level in the Red Sea State, Sudan. The study adopted the analytical descriptive approach to verify and specify the research issues quantitatively and qualitatively. It depended on questionnaire and personal communications as primary sources for data collection; literature from previous studies and records were used as secondary sources of data. Results obtained indicated that about 93.8% of the population under the study was used to have fish in their diets.
