Seafood, in addition to having a valuable and high-protein, are rich in various types of nutrients and suitable amounts of vitamins and minerals, but also has a small amount of fat and cholesterol. If we eat more fishes and other seafood in our diet, our health is better and the percentage of our disease is the lower. The main aim of this research was to determine and analyze the amount of seafood used in the Hanijan city. Survey method was used to achieve the research goals and the main tool was research questionnaire. Questionnaires were completed individually in each household. By random sampling, 67 subjects were selected. Because of coastal city and easy access to fresh fishes, the existence of local markets in the region, as well as the suitability of fishes prices, the consumption of fish in Hindijan city households was more than other sources of protein. Finally, consumption per year of seafood in Hanijan city was compared with other cities such as Behbahan, and Zanjan, so that consumption of fish in these cities was low. Studied people in the city of Hendijan in present research, eat twice a three times in week about100 g or more from fried low-fat fishes (Liza abu and Pseudorhombus arsius), therefore they are very health, because over 20 years they have been eaten fish and shrimp in their food basket.
