It's almost impossible to find wild-caught salmon anymore where I live.

I DO NOT WANT SALMON FROM AQUAFARMING YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES !!!

What has this world come to?...

Can you not go fishing yourself? Just curious. If I want to eat fish, I usually go fishing, lol.

Whats wrong with Aquaculture? The salmon Ive gotten from it in the past have tasted fine (though I am rubbish at smoking it). I am very curious since I am about to start an aquaponic system and have to start with tilapia, but will hopefully be able to swap it out to salmon in the next few years.

Which has less mercury: Atlantic, Pacific, or Farm raised salmon? I honestly don't know, but I'll tell you that I'll never buy salmon that is pumped full of food coloring. I always prefer to purchase flash frozen Alaskan salmon that is skin on, full slabs, not steaks.

I'm also a sucker for all things smoked salmon, but I'm certain I'm getting ripped off when I buy it.

Tilapia. The place kicker of fish.

Even sardines are all "Pfffft. Tilapia. Pffft".

[fastbilly1]

I feel the same way, but TN state law mandates the system must be started with Tilapia or Catfish. And Tilapia are alot more hardy in aquaponics than Catfish here.

You know, it's not just aquafarming that bothers me. It's where it comes from. Why it exists...

There's just too many damned people on this fucking planet. And they keep breeding like fucking rabbits instead of using their brain. And they all need to eat. And they all have their ecological footprint. And they all buy stuff wrapped in a shitload of plastic. And they all eat mass-produced inferior shit...

Reduce the world's population to half what it is today and the world would be a better place...

Nowadays people should simply not be allowed to have more than 2 children.

Got 2 of them? Time to get fixed. Plain and fucking simple...

The world has become a festering wound and it frustrates the fuck out of me...

Whats wrong with Aquaculture?

Too many fish together in a small basin pumped full of antibiotics swimming in their own shit.

That's what's wrong with it...

Try some nice fresh wild caught red salmon, then try that aquashit and tell me you don't taste the difference...

I think mercury should be the least of your worries...

Makes sense. They want feeders first to help maintain cleanliness, I hope. I don't mind tilapia as a filler for say fish tacos, but way too muddy tasting to grill whole.

and a very, very broken economy.

The ocean is already God's port-a-john, what's wrong with a few antibiotics?

I'm trying to pick up what you are putting down, but you're posting blanket statements. I am worried about mercury poisoning. Anyone can google the content in salmon, and it seems about the same. So what is the big deal here?

It's not like we're discussing anything subjective. Cutting the world's population has no affect on supply and demand in the long run. People will still purchase $20K dinners if they have the funds, so your opinion on that is moot.

Not ribbing on you, just trying to understand where you are coming from. Hopefully you can reply with a brief paragraph that is not laced with profanities.
