Of course I have a personal interest in seeing the wild fish industry rebound, but even if I wasn't about to marry into that business, I'd still wonder why folks eat farmed fish. (Or "farmed fresh fish" as some advertisements ludicrously claim.) Most farmed fish live in putrid pens; their red color comes from artificial coloring (if they weren't colored, these fish would be a very unappetizing dull gray); and they are often chock-full of growth hormones and antibiotics. Their flesh is soft and, especially in comparison to the muscled wild fish, flavorless. Yuck.

Farmed raised Atlantic salmon in the Pacific Northwest do not threaten native stock.

Do too.
