I have no access to fresh shrimp, so farmed shrimp is better than no
shrimp. Wild salmon is nice, but farmed is more available and a lot
cheaper. Like the shrimp, farmed is better than none.

I tried Gulf shrimp. It tasted of iodine, so I went back to shitty (literally)
Vietnamese farmed shrimp.

I tried wild salmon. It tasted like cat food, so I went back to farmed.

Wut? Never buy Asian, they have no standards whatsoever. We only buy
Australian prawns ( or shrimp as you say).

People who think fish tastes like cat food, don't really like fish.
IMO, of course.

Funny you should mention that. I went to the pharmacy last week and
found a bottle of xanthan gum suppliments in capsule form.

Now I can add some to any "from scratch" meal I make at home. :-D
