Farmed fish is going to be the way to go, but it really needs some
effort on independent auditing and quality standards to get the populace
on board. Fish farmed in the US, Chile and a few other places are quite
good quality, it is mostly some low grade crap from China and Vietnam
that have been giving farmed fish a bad name.
