I cannot understand why they will not use the word farmed and fed by humans to describe Faroe Island fisheries, BTW ALL Atlantic salmon is farmed. Farmed fish eat food pellets created by humans and they have to add the salmon color in the feed. No idea why it does not say color added. Here in California, if he sells it as his restaurant, it would say farmed.

I have had salmon in some of the country’s finest restaurants and what I can buy locally in Louisiana at my supermarket seafood counter is just as good. I can’t see paying that much for salmon. We eat salmon weekly because it is so healthy. It is also very easy to fix. My son grills his outside on the grill on the cedar planks and it is so good!

Too expensive for me. Comes out to $27.78 per lb. I can get farmed salmon for far less at my local supermarket.

  Why eat farmed ? As I said, farmed salmon has color added in the feed. Natural feed he suggests is ok. So what wild salmon eat are tiny crustaceans along the ocean bottom. Natural for a farmed fish are these products.Farmed salmon are fed dry pellets. They contain around 70 percent vegetable ingredients and 30 percent marine raw materials like fishmeal and fish oil. … Vegetable ingredients in fish feed are derived from plants like soy, sunflowers, rapeseed, corn, broad beans and wheat. They are not naturally that color. The color is in the feed. Read up on it. I buy wild Pacific salmon from any of the Pacific coast areas of the US and Canada. There are 5 kinds of Pacific salmon and and not all are as pricey as king (chinook) or sockeye (red).

  Well, of course I’d much rather have wild caught salmon. I just meant that if you’re going to order farmed salmon from TV or a website, you may as well just get farmed salmon from the supermarket and save yourself a wad of cash, plus no waiting for shipping.
