I heard that Atlantic Salmon, coming from Chile, is farmed !!!
Should I be concerned with that. They say Pacific Salmon is all fresh.

Yes! With farmed salmon from anywhere, you get to enjoy healthy doses of antibiotics, growth hormones, red dye, and cuprous oxide, aka bottom paint. Bon appetite!
Store bought salmon are labeled “Wild Caught”; all farmed salmon must be labeled “Farmed”. No label, no buy.
Real fresh salmon is only available from the fisherman. Else its has been processed to some degree, packaged, shipped, sat in some warehouse, displayed on some grocer’s counter with ice under it, unsold, brought out the next day, then, when the rot is too bad, mixed with flavorings and sold as a different product and is only relatively fresh.
As everyone knows cold falls down hill, so putting fish on top of ice does nothing and only exposes the fish to the cooler’s circulating air, slowly dehydrating it. Fish must be keep refrigerated under ice at 26 degrees, aka green ice. Flash frozen fish is excellent, as they are frozen with in 15 minutes of being brought aboard the boat - this is usually Alaskan cod.
Buy from fishermen online. Know who killed your food.
