> I actually like fish a lot and could it 4-5 times a week (especially smoked salmon) but I worry about the mercury as I already have mercury amalgams. I was eating farm raised salmon until I read about it. Did you know that they have to dye it pink, otherwise it's gray? Because they don't eat what wild salmon eat. For that reason they also have less Omega-3. It's very frustrating that we CAN'T eat a lot of fish without all these pollution worries.

According to the USDA database, farmed Atlantic salmon has more omega-3 fatty acids than does wild caught.

Farmed fish is attracting far more adverse publicity than it deserves, IMHO, at least from a nutritional or contaminant standpoint. Pollutant levels in virtually all fish are falling with time (excluding those caught near polluting industries), both in wild caught and farmed fish. The health studies that have shown that fish eaters were healthier than those who ate none were conducted on people who ate more heavily polluted fish than that which is available today. All food is contaminated. The reason fish has attracted this attention is a political act.

Here are a couple of links to things I wrote.
