The former farmed salmon has high levels of omega-6 relative to omega-3, whereas the latter can contain more omega-3 than wild-caught fish (according to recent analyses).

Certainly, fish caught in heavily polluted waters (e.g. the Great Lakes) should probably be avoided, or at least eaten in restricted amounts. Find a fish you like, and eat it often.

I would be delighted to eat fish every day. The problem is getting good fresh fish that I can afford. I don't like farmed fish. This area has some great seafood but the most trustworthy local market sells it for over $12/pound, and good tuna is about $18, maybe $19. I decided I would rather eat canned salmon than farm-raised salmon, because the canned fish has no pretensions about being anything other than canned fish.

I *am* holding out for Alaskan Copper River wild-caught salmon. I have to get it a few times a year. I'll get some red snapper and striped bass when they go on sale, too.

Now I'm starting to think about sushi . . . .
