In contrast, the numerous issues associated with the fish farming industry make farmed salmon a risky option. Let’s just say that it is harmful to both us and the environment for the fish to be raised in enclosed tanks and fed with ingredients that are not found in nature.

Frozen wild Alaskan salmon might be a better choice than fresh salmon, much like how I shop for shrimp.

Buy frozen salmon fillets unless you know for sure that your local fish market offers a fresh catch of the day.
