My take away from the DataNutition website was salmon is salmon no matter how it is raised. The nutritionist supported that idea. I eat at a Chinese buffet that has wonderful salmon. It is moist and very tender. I imagine it is steamed if that is a cooking method.

@bjanderson When you are in the store though, unfortunately you generally do not know where the farmed salmon came from. Whole Foods claims that their farmed salmon is as good as wild but of course they say that, they want you to buy it!

@plaid I just googled farmed salmon vs wild salmon and it does still sound as if farmed salmon cannot compare in health benefits with wild. Most farmed salmon is still good for you, just not as good as wild, and some farmed salmon has more contaminants in it.

I will stick to wild, it tastes better to me anyway, which is not to say I have never eaten farmed in a restaurant and enjoyed it.
