there are more PCBs in butter, beef, or milk than farm raised salmon. and the "dye" they put in the feed is the same compounds that they naturally eat (astraxanthin and others) that make them pink in the wild.
if you really want to pick an argument with salmon, find a real one, like how many forage fish are killed to make the feed. that is probably the only "real" issue with farmed salmon. But it doesn't resonate with the commoner, so the aniti-salmon groups drum up non-stories like PCBs & dye which sound way more scarier... yawn...

Just had this last night, prepared like salmon. Dijon mustard coating with lemon. Chit WAS the bomb. I only eat wild salmon from Whole Foods, but I will definitely eat farm-raised steelhead again  |

It's cool... I don't like ANY cooked salmon (raw or cured for me) so I'm biased  |

Eben I will try that.
The woman is making us a mediterannean tilapia right now. her mom made the steelhead last night with a bomb corn, grape tomato, vinegar, and avacado-southwestern style salad. my mother made us wild salmon last week.
Life is good  |
