Our farmed salmon is trash though, you shouldn't eat it. They're net rings in the fjords full of massively overcrowded salmon, there's problems with parasites, lice, bugs, illnesses, they're fed pellets with orange dye in them, and they destroy the local fjord ecosystems because they put so much waste into the water the entire fjord life system can collapse.

They're farmed in dead fjords full of sewage, essentially.

Here's an english link I found : https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/04/norwegian-fish-farms-polluting-fjords-with-waste-likened-to-raw-sewage-of-millions-of-people

Thank you for that info! I've often heard farmed salmon is far inferior to wild caught. I'll admit I hadn't done the research yet but your post was enough to get me to begin reading up on it.

Thanks again!

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
