Costco offers fresh, farmed salmon but I always choose the frozen, wild Sockeye salmon. Here's a quote from The George Mateljan Foundation with a link to their website to read more information about the general recommendation of wild salmon:
- Despite being much fattier, farmed fish provide less usable beneficial omega 3 fats than wild fish.
- Due to the feedlot conditions of aquafarming, farm-raised fish are doused with antibiotics and exposed to more concentrated pesticides than their wild kin. Farmed salmon, in addition, are given a salmon-colored dye in their feed, without which, their flesh would be an unappetizing grey color.
