Alaskan?

That's farmed too. The 'Wild' bit refers to the fact it has free run of a whole lake...

The supermarkets don't sell wild salmon. Wild salmon is caught as it comes inshore to breed. Catching it means it doesn't get a chance to breed, affecting the future chances of the species. It isn't ethical for a large retailer to sell it on a large scale. Any of the top supermarkets sell enough salmon in a year to make the wild species extinct.

As for the other comments, the usual Daily Fail nonsense. There are different grades of farmed salmon, just as quality will vary from supplier to supplier with any farmed products. There are good suppliers and there are bad. Why tar them all with the same nonsense?

In general, if it's Scottish farmed salmon it's really good stuff. The quality of the fish is generally good, they're looked after reasonably well and they're parasite free. Many counties import it because of its reputation for quality. Us Brits? We just winge, because nothing good could possibly be made in this country...

On topic, can't say I'm sure about this stuff. Unless it's reduced to clear it seems way too cheap. Probably not from this country. Probably not even from the EU. Not sure it'd buy it unless I could work out where it's from - there's a reasonable reason to be wary of some farmed fish.

500g of salmon fillets for just 99p?

What's the catch?

Serious question here, but why is everyone so concerned with farmed Salmon?

Humans farm pigs, cows, chickens and countless other animals for food not to mention crops - all of which have artificial feed/pesticides of some sort and no one really cares - so what's so special about farming of salmon???

.....but we eat farmed cows, pigs, chicken, sheeps that are fed off hormone pellets, not sure why the snobbery over fish? I don't even know myself even though I started it. I think it is to do with the muscles, a wild salmon leaping up waterfalls vs a farmed one wallowing about in a pen. Whereas a wild sheep vs a farmed sheep, they do about the same amount of plodding and have similar meat on them?? :neutral_face:

farmed or natural?
