Sonia,
Pacific and Alaskan salmon are both generally safe. Alaskan seems to be the 100% sure bet, and pacific is usually…
I saw “Norwegian” on a menu tonight and didn’t know what to think about that!

Pacific Salmon is wild too right? How does that differ from Alaskan salmon? Is one better than the other or about equal?

Thanks for the great post, you did a great job outlining all the drawbacks to farmed salmon. My dad is a commercial salmon fisherman here in Oregon and he also fishes in Alaska in the summertime. The commercial fishing industry is having a hard time competing with lower priced farmed salmon, so I am so happy to see that word is finally getting out that farmed salmon is full of hazards.

I didn't eat any seafood for a long time based on fear of contamination. I changed that recently and have been eating salmon and shrimp about once per week. One of the things that helped me feel more comfortable eating seafood was finding a good place to get it from. I buy from Vital Choice and they supposedly test their salmon to ensure that it's not contaminated. It's expensive, but so far, I've been quite impressed.

We eat wild Alaskan salmon at least once a week. When we used to live in Oregon, quite a few of our friends would regularly go salmon fishing and share their hauls. I miss those days!

Nice post. Since I don’t get a similarly positive feeling about Governor Palin, I prefer to think of the good feelings that I have about the intrepid fisherman on The Deadliest Catch. They catch from the seas in Alaska, so the salmon in Alaska is from the seas.
