Abstract
The purpose of the article is to systematize the tools available to those making political and economic decisions on managing the economic accessibility of fish and seafood in the Russian consumer market.
The article defines an approach to choosing economic accessibility factors and analyzes the main methods of influencing these factors in the context of their impact on various aspects of the country's food security and on the welfare of consumers. A conclusion is made about the need to pursue a balanced food policy that combines management methods based on the principles of free trade with measures of reasonable agricultural protectionism and support for consumers and producers of fish products. Such a policy is the basis for increasing the availability of fish products and overcoming the stagnation in their consumption that has emerged in our country in recent years.
