Wild Irish salmon
Hello All!
It happens in Ireland too, it seems. Irish Independent, Tuesday March 24 2009 http://tinyurl.com/cb7wh7 "A BATCH of seafood from an exclusive fishmongers which was labelled as 'wild salmon' was found to be farmed under DNA tests, a court heard yesterday." -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

The so-called "wild" Atlantic salmon that spawns in some Maine rivers was restocked with farmed fish many decades ago. (Possibly from Canadian stock....I no longer recall the details.) While it is now "wild" --in terms of lifestyle, anyway--I'd venture to guess that it would fail a DNA test that attempted to distinguish it from some farmed stock. |

I always buy wild Alaskan or Pacific salmon. I don't think I've ever had Atlantic salmon. N. |

A lot of frozen, wild Pacific salmon is "Product of China"!!!!!!!!!! |

Whether it is "wild" or farmed is sometimes unclear but it's usually expensive. Personally, my favorite is alder smoked Pacific salmon and I believe the Indians invented that. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
