It's a fairly successful Columbus Mom-n-Pop Shop (Nick’s Market) in a not-so-well-to-do neighborhood a bit west of my location -- relatively speaking. Not a bad little place. Anyway, I suggested Wild-Caught Pacific Salmon to their choice of the Farmed Atlantic Salmon. Their supplier informed them it was simply too difficult a task processing and shipping Wild Caught, something Ocean Eclipse, Sea Queen, and even Wal-Mart brands seem to handle just fine.

Apparently, ER, not all farms are equal...

"All our farms use cameras to monitor the bottom of the pens to be sure excess feed is not polluting the water (and to control costs of feed too). On soft bottoms (mud/sand/shell), soil samples are taken at six different times during the grow-out period to a distance of 30 meters from the edge of the pens."

From Wegmans.com.

...or so they claim to protect their overall investment, but there are enough hellishly bad fish-farmers to raise environmental concerns.

Make no mistake; I remain a Wild Caught eater of High-Krill-Intake, Pacific salmon. Still bad for the fish population, but good for me.
