Fresh Fish

Last night my husband and I were at the grocery store trying to decide what to eat for dinner. We came to an agreement that fish would be good. As we approached the fish counter we could hear the fishmonger talking to another customer about the great steel head trout that he had. Granted it looked good and rather tasty, but upon further inspection I noticed that it was farm raised and color had been added. We decided upon wild caught Alaskan salmon. I told the gregarious fishmonger our order and his face dropped! He told us in a disappointed voice that he was just telling the customer in front of us about the fantastic steel head trout. Why didn't we want it? My husband told him rather politely that it was farm raised and that we preferred not to eat corn fed fish!
Fish that is farmed tends to be fed corn and doesn't eat its natural diet. When oily fish, like salmon, don't eat their natural diet the composition of the fish changes. The omega acids are no longer effective. You might as well eat a slab of cardboard! When purchasing fish look for wild caught fish. The color that they add is totally unnecessary and who know what it is that they are coloring it with.
