why is this? something is wrong.

Unfortunately farmed fish do have more pesticides in them b/c of higher concentrations in their habitat vs. fresh caught.

It's a no win situation we're not taking care of our planet.

There is also petroleum and dye in the feed. I remember the first time I cooked salmon and the butter in the pan had an orange tint in it. Dye.

A lot of farmed and wild salmon is dyed to look more pink. Very common.

Black Salt restaurant also has a fish market. We only eat wild caught and usually buy at Whole Foods. I've never bought fish at Black Salt, but would for a special occasion.

We need to kill off more sharks

Yeah, and I take issue with it being very "tasty." It seems to be fish in name only.

Same with chicken -- not even worth roasting a whole chicken anymore because of the flavor.

OP, some of the asian markets have fresh fish, lying on ice staring at you. Korean Korner has it and so do a few others, I think H Mart does too and a couple of others up Rockville Pike.

I get ours at Whole Foods and Costco. You can also find 16-20 Gulf shrimp at Giant.

Some farmed fish are fine.

I do a lot of business lunches and dinners, so get my fill there. Or when I'm in New England and can get it fresh.

Otherwise, sometimes trader joes has some frozen wild sockeye salmon, or whole foods haddock. It's tough though, getting fresh and sustainable.

I can't bear to buy the farm-raised from South America fish anymore. It does not taste like fish (in the good sense) but smells like chlorine.
Will fish become a luxuary item? If you consider yourself a "fish person," i.e. you welcome eating most of a whole fish, where do you get it from?
