The quantity of fish consumption in Egypt increases annually at a statistical average of 62 thousand tons per year. At a statistically significant annual rate of 0.44 kg per year, and the fish gap shows its fluctuation between the rise and fall during the period considered and the most important results of the consumer spending functions of the animal protein group in Egypt and the expenditure elasticities of these groups according to the economic and social factors that the expenditure on the animal protein group is generally higher. The results also showed the effect of both urban and rural on the consumption patterns of the animal protein group. The results indicate that the consumption expenditure patterns on the animal protein group in both rural and urban areas will be affected.
