Default Salmon or NOT



Here's some food for thought:

. Don't stop eating fish. Do vary your intake. We suggest cutting back on
farmed salmon if you eat it as your main fish. There are plenty of other
fish to choose from.

. Watch for news. The farmed fish industry has made improvements in fish
chow and has promised more. It has also been under attack for its impact on
drinking water and air pollution, and for the use of additives (such as
antibiotics and colorants). Maybe this adverse publicity will motivate it to
fix the problems.

. Buy wild salmon, if you can afford it.

. Use canned salmon. Almost all of it is wild.

. Ask your fish seller where the salmon comes from. Fish labeled "Atlantic
salmon" or "Icelandic salmon" sound wild, but are usually farmed. By this
October a new law will require fish to be labeled as to country of origin,
and whether it is wild or farmed.

. See if you can find farmed salmon from Chile, which exports a lot of
fish to the U.S. It is lower in PCBs and other contaminants than other
farmed salmon, according to the study.

. To reduce the PCBs in salmon: before you cook it, remove the skin and
the fat under it (not a hard job if you use a very sharp knife-or get the
fish seller to do it). Then broil, bake, poach, or grill the fish instead of
sautéing it. These methods allow the fat to drain off. Plenty of beneficial
omega-3s will remain.

Farmed salmon is as good for you as wild salmon.

Wild salmon is as bad for you as farmed salmon.
