I can. Farm raised atlantic salmon is much more delicate
while retaining salmon flavor. It's almost entirely the
reason I started eating salmon again a couple of years ago.
Wild salmon can be downright gamey, which is okay if you're
looking for exactly that sort of experience. The farmed
versions take to various forms of cooking, while the
wild ones are going to scream "fishy" under the strongest
of spices. Which is good if that's what you want, but not
so good for your more subtle seasonings.


I can too.
It's funny, if I eat farmed salmon I taste a bland flavorless fish. Maybe
you should try a different fish monger if the wild fish you've eaten tastes
gamey. Overcooking can make a fish taste stronger too, try cooking your fish
a little less.


Uh, maybe you should find a different fish monger if all the farmed salmon is
bland flavorless fish. The farmed salmon I eat has good, rich flavor.

I don't think it's unreasonable for consumers to know the fact that food
colouring is added to their food.

Same here. I'd like to know when they dye products.
