Thanks. I'll definitely give one of your suggestions a try this weekend (hopefully my seafood shop has one of them.) I mostly prefer to grill fish, and my grill has adjustable heights, so I'm good to go on prep. I use charcoal. (I also eat a lot of farmed catfish that I catch at a local farm. They grill nicely due to fat content, as well + I know that no pesticides get anywhere near the ponds. {Somewhat a pain to clean, though.}) Thanks again for the recommendations! While on the subject of salmon, I tried Keta one time. I didn't care much for it, though I might have overcooked it. I've read that it was the preferred food of sled dogs. It didn't cost much, though.
I read not too long ago somewhere that farmed salmon usually has way less Omega-3 in it. I stopped eating farmed salmon years ago (didn't realize it was farmed) when I got some that had worms in it. Grossed me out completely.
So Keta is a made-up name for what has for years been called Dog Salmon, a name it got because it's indeed primarily been used for hundreds of years up north as dog food. It's about as edible as any other dog food, really a disgrace that they try to sell it as "salmon" for human consumption.
My local sea food outlet has farmed (not sure of the type), mostly from Faroe Island, which is what I've been eating (have read some concerning material about farmed salmon from there since this thread began), but they had some really good looking wild caught sockeye from Copper River. Going to grill some in a few hours. It was only a dollar more a pound. Those are the only two salmon they carry, but they occasionally have rainbow trout, another fish I like. Regarding radiation from Fukushima...I'm not too concerned. Regarding the following links...they may be accurate or not. http://dec.alaska.gov/eh/Radiation/index.html Regarding Faroe Island farmed salmon...one of many articles...not sure of date and current farming practices. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-205547/Salmon-health-alert.html I'm still going to eat it, maybe just not as often.
There is a lot of money and jobs involved in the seafood industry. If there was radiation in the fish, then it would threaten the industry as well as admit that things are worse than they are telling us and that perhaps, they are not in control of the situation. I don't believe them when they say the seafood is safe from the Pacific, especially from Japan. Fish move, they migrate from season to season. Fish that swim around Fukushima swim somewhere else then they are eaten by other fish that never approached the area, but then they become contaminated. It's not like our govt doesn't lie to us. Or, maybe I have just become more cynical.
wow, pretty bad a$$ i never buy farmed fish but this changed my whole perspective. i was thinking they were in an indoor swimming pool, but this is decent
I saw this today. It seems a lot of people like their salmon. 7. The best-selling seafood item is the responsibly farmed salmon. Look for this in the seafood section — it's the number-one selling seafood item companywide. The salmon is free of antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides, and GMOs. https://www.popsugar.com/food/Whole...partner&utm_campaign=feed&utm_content=link_48

%% Good read; i heard on the news they can/cook a lot of that fish on the boat. I much prefer wild caught; even though i live on a farm. DONT eat much catfish anymore but TN river wild caught catfish tastes much, much better than farm raised ; my dad will not eat farm raised catfish, but he has more sensitive taste than most. Farm fresh , free range or any farm fresh eggs taste much better than store bought eggs; I like them both...................................................................................
