We have a dozen posts on that situation including "Norway Smacks Down Idea That Their Salmon Caused Beijing Covid-19 Outbreak" which contains this bit of commentary:

...Keith Neal, an emeritus professor of the epidemiology of infectious diseases at Britain’s University of Nottingham, said any link to salmon was likely the result of cross contamination.
“Markets can be crowded places, so like in Wuhan, (they) help fuel spread,” he said, referring to the Chinese city where the virus originated.

Neal said finding a link to Europe was not surprising, given the global spread of the virus.
“China gave the world this virus and it was always very likely to give it back to them. Finding a strain prevalent in Europe probably reflects people returning to China after travelling to Europe,” he said....

Professor Neal Probably won't be getting any Confucius Institute stipends or Chinese research grants.
