The overwhelming majority of salmon available in the U.S. today is farmed salmon, which you will see sold in grocery stores, fish markets and restaurants as "Atlantic" salmon. Just like people, salmon are leaner and healthier when they exercise and eat well. Farm-raised fish --- which spend their lives in a pen --- have more total fat than their wild counterparts, and their ratio of beneficial Omega-3 fats to bad, saturated fats is much lower. Farmed Atlantic salmon are fattened on fish meal, corn, or soy pellets, unlike the wild salmon, which hunt down their food making them leaner. Wild salmon contains no dyes, PCB’s or toxins and are harvested in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner.
