Has to be wild fish. Farm raised are no good, no matter the species. Farm raised are fed corn.

Excellent point re: “farmed” fish. When you see “Atlantic salmon” in your local market, it’s always farm-raised on GMO soy kibbles. There may even be a message on the wrapper in teeny tiny print saying “color added.” This is because farmed salmon is an unappetizing tan color without the addition of coloring agents to their unnatural diet. You need to pay a few bucks more per pound for wild-caught salmon.

” Farm raised are fed corn.”

which means no omega-3s because THAT comes from plankton whose contents concentrate up the fishy food chain ...

the only way farmed fish can contain omega-3’s is if they are fed fish meal ...

farmed fish are for the most part garbage as they’re generally raised in one-time use mudholes filled with chemicals ... same with farmed shrimp ... [a few exceptions are yellowtail farmed in the open ocean like oysters are farmed ...]

Sounds like propaganda. Fish feed is generally mostly fish meal.

ChatGPT disagrees with you:

In fact, farmed salmon has been found to contain slightly more healthy long-chain omega-3 fatty acids than wild salmon.

Perhaps it is because the salmon has been fed fish meal, which would allow the Omega 3s to accumulate in the salmon similar to what happens as you move up the Krill food chain.

I dunno, but ChatGPT is one of the better "go to" sources, despite its limitations. I use it for work all the time.
