It should be no mystery why many folks prefer farmed Atlantic salmon. They are a milder tasting fish than say Chinook. In addition fresh salmon at a convent size with consistent quality is more readily available for the average consumer at a more affordable price.

I like venison reference; we as a society made the move from relying on venison and turkeys to preferring beef, pork and chicken. If we as a society are going to insistent on eating salmon the rate at which we are destroying the habitat those species require it will have to be largely a farmed product. Have no problem eliminating the net pens but where is the commitment to meaningful habitat protection and restoration to make more wild salmon available?
