Is there a significant difference between "wild caught" salmon, and fresh farm raised "Norwegian" salmon?

Well, "Yes" there is. Read the article below to learn about the significant health issues in this product. Just like any other GMO products, increased productivity comes at a nutritional cost.

Also, consider that when you go to a restaurant and order salmon, what kind of salmon do you suppose they use, wild caught or farm raised?

I never eat farmed fish and especially any food from china.

I have a local connection in Miami, Asami Foods.
Yes, there is a difference, this is the most expensive and the best.
They source from:
Born of the North Atlantic, our salmon breed is fed a wholesome diet that we carefully harvest from their natural environment surrounding the Faroe Islands. These small strips of land marked by sharp steep cliffs, are nestled in the middle of the North Atlantic and boast a cold, clean tide that keeps the surrounding waters pristine.
Rich in flavor, supple in texture, and pleasingly vibrant in color, salmon can be used to create any meal: from the 10-minute meal after work to a sit-down banquet on Saturday evening.
Salmon’s consistency and adaptability make it an appealing addition to any meal, providing a satisfying, sensual gastronomic experience that provides something for your eyes, your body, and most importantly, your taste buds.
Every gourmet chef knows that salmon is a sure bet for any meal. Bakkafrost salmon is unique, with a brilliant, savory taste that can only be described as, “ a taste of the Faroe Islands.” It is a taste that leaves the ocean behind.
WHAT MAKES BAKKAFROST SALMON SPECIAL?
Bakkafrost salmon is possibly the finest salmon found, and to ensure quality, we here at Bakkafrost have melded a millennia-old, ancient seafaring tradition with modern approaches to food. We live and work alongside the fjords where we raise our salmon. We are bent on perfection, and take the time and effort to create quality products.
Bakkafrost salmon is a product as close to free-range/wild salmon as one can find.
Running cold and clean, the pristine waters around the Faroe Islands is the ideal environment to create an impeccably pure salmon.
With our attention to detail, no finer salmon can be found in the salmon farming industry.

Stupid GMO scare tactic. GMO's are a boon to mankind, the only people hurt by them are the farmers who do not use them and are being outproduced by those who do.

Bruce123

Joel Salatin would argue your contention.
No doubt that GMO foods have increased yields. In our current system of agriculture it supplies our needs but at a great cost . We are in a cycle of diminishing returns as we speak.

It's your choice Jim. Good luck with that!

The cost is that some people have an irrational fear of them. No harm has ever been scientifically shown due to a GMO.

Genetically modified foods are just as safe as any other food. Gene modifications have nothing to do with digestion or affecting the body at all. Gene modifications occur constantly in nature. We do nothing more than help them along to suit our preferences.

So, you apparently believe that genetically engineering a food crop to insert a gene that produces a natural insecticide is conducive to human health huh?

As the cited study reports "The question of the risks of the genetic modification per se, when not associated with pesticides, appears theoretical, since in real farming conditions these plants are designed to be grown with pesticides and/or to express them in their cells. Pesticides do include herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.

So whether the GMO food products themselves are a health risk, or simply that they bioaccumulate herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides as a byproduct of their growing cycle, the end result is the same. They are unhealthy, harmful to human health, and are used simply to cut costs and improve corporate profitability.

Yep, plants and animals modify all on their own anyway, what's wrong with making sure that the gene change by human intervention is beneficial?
Gene modification doesn't occur through digestion.
I try to buy anything GMO and nothing organic.
Organic is just a current way to get more money for ugly produce.
Fruit starting to rot?
Slap a sign on it calling it ORGANIC and double the price. Shit will sell out in minutes.

I try to buy anything GMO and nothing organic. Wow, Miki, they really have you drinking the cool-aid! Did you even read any of the material in my last post? Do you think those scientific reports are bogus? Do you really think that the herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides on non-organic fruits and vegetables are actually GOOD for you. Had a shot of DDT lately????

Mikeyavelli

Maybe. But I don't think DDT is used anymore after that lefty Rachel Carlson wrote her frantic book The Silent Spring.
My health is excellent.
Still ain't buying anything lefty organic or touted to increase my whatever.
Plain old food. Meat too, lots of it.

ACP45 Loc: Rhode Island

I'm with you on the meat. I try to buy stuff that doesn't contain antibiotics and hormones, but still love the occasional prime cut beef. I hope you reconsider the GMO and pesticide laden veggies though.

Mikeyavelli

Thanks, but there ain't no flies or mosquitoes on me! I'm pest free!
