Brooke,
Thank you for that! I have seen other fish at grocery stores from Norway and kept wondering about the standard there. It seems most sources only address Atlantic vs. Pacific. So good to know! Katied

Farm raised salmon in Norway is on the same level as wild-caught Alaskan. They raise them in the ocean, and feed them what they’d normally eat. Plus, their standards of purity are much higher than in the US, so you can make sushi from it!

We have a really, really hard time finding safe fish! So we mostly resort to canned wild salmon. Fish is something that is so much more per pound than my budget that I usually ignore it, but it’s one of our personal “baby steps” to include more fish in our diet.

I just came across your site, but wanted to comment that I am so glad for your articles, especially this one! I live in a small fishing town in Alaska, but have not yet found a good article about it to send to friends and family, though I assumed farmed was bad. Now I know where to send them, and hopefully some good canned wild salmon recipes!

Jenny,
At the bottom of this recipe: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/02/12/recipe-connection-st-peters-spicy-fish/ you’ll find what I did put together, mostly from other reputable sources. Katie

Did you ever write that post on “all the good and bad fish for you and for the environment?” I can’t find it…

Rachel,
Good call! I agree that wild “Alaskan” salmon (any Alaskan salmon is wild) is the best. Those other countries might not have good standards for fisheries, very true. Thanks! Katie

i know this is a relatively old post now, but i just found it, and wonder if anyone knows what to think about canned “Wild Caught Salmon” that says on the label (in fine print): product of Thailand, or product of China…?? i always avoid those brands and find the cans that say product of USA, just to be safe…
