What is the difference between wild and farmed salmon?
TweetSalmon is a high-protein food that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Farmed salmon contains different levels of nutrients to wild salmon, including calories, fat content, and vitamin levels. Wild and farmed salmon also vary in color. Learn more about the differences between wild and farmed salmon here.

TweetMahi-mahi, red snapper, and grouper is the only fish I really eat, I’m not big on fish but if I do eat fish I’ll eat one of those three.

Re: What is the difference between wild and farmed salmon?
TweetI go for the wild caught as well. On guns recommendation, I may give wild caught cod a try. I love salmon, but it does get old after a while.

Re: What is the difference between wild and farmed salmon?
TweetLike JG said, the texture is the most obvious difference. Wild is so much more dense and fine textured. It tastes different also, but that is subtle. We try to get wild caught but will buy farmed when wild isn't available.
I also like trout, which is similar to salmon. I have been wondering lately whether trout is another 'farmed' fish but haven't done any digging to find out.
I like almost anything that comes out of the ocean with a few exceptions. I'll have to try cod; I know I've had it but not often.
I do eat tilapia with moderate regularity despite the awful things you hear about tilapia farms. It's not a staple or anything, but the frozen filets are easy to transport and cook at work in the toaster oven. And it doesn't smell strongly, so doesn't smell up the whole place. These are imporrant factors for inclusion in my diet: how viable is this for a workplace meal?

Re: What is the difference between wild and farmed salmon?
Tweetcod is for the most part all wild caught. there are some places that are farming but not enough for it to end up in your grocery store. I read an article that the farm raised is actually better than wild caught in this case as the fish is frozen WAY faster and has less stress hormones. One of the things that make wild caught salmon better than farmed is that wild caught are active fish. Chasing prey constantly and farmed just swim around their pens and eat pellets.
Cod are bottom fish that are not active. they skim along the bottom when feeding and eat worms and mussels and bottom stuff like that. Kinda of like a catfish which is not some garbage eater. Blue cats and channels chase shad but eat crawdads and clams and stuff on the bottom too.
smalls1, you named 3 of my favs brother. "Mahi-mahi, red snapper, and grouper" Mahi is my fav but high in mercury. Best tasting fish there is IMO. I love snapper, not just red snapper but mangrove and mutton snapper as well. they are pretty much identical in flavor and texture. then grouper........super delicious, great texture and nice thick fillets.
That said do not pay extra for the "wild caught" seal on cod. It pretty much all is, sales gimmick.
