Chilean Salmon? What the hell is Chilean Salmon?
September 19th, 2007 by some dudeThis I didn’t know… The salmon you buy at Costco or WalMart—Chilean Salmon—is a species of Atlantic salmon that is farmed in Chile. Wait, where’s Chile again?
And it never existed south of the equator either, until 12 years ago. This can’t be good.

This is a great guide for what seafood you should and shouldn’t eat for environmental reasons: http://www.mbayaq.org/cr/SeafoodWatch/we…

I didn’t know that either. Crazy. But it makes me feel better about shelling out the bucks to only buy fish marked “wild caught” and not “farm raised.” I’ve read conflicting reports on the alleged increased health benefits from wild seafood, but I still look for the sticker. You know what I buy a lot of now? Swordfish. Super easy to cook well.
