Americans have also been scared away from eating a lot of fish over fears of mercury and PCB contamination.
America is also a big place. Fresh fish spoils quickly. So no, you won't see a lot of selection at a midwestern supermarket. If you're near a coast, the selection and number of specialty seafood shops is a lot better.

- RussianCow 10y ago[citation needed] In my experience, a minority of people pay attention to where their food comes from. I'd bet the average consumer purchasing fish wouldn't be able to tell you whether it was farmed or wild caught.
- linkregister 10y agoIf you go to your Safeway, Publix, or Kroger, you'll probably find half the salmon to be farm-raised. And all the catfish.
- jsymolon 10y agoFarm raised Salmon is salmon in name only. Different taste and color. I'll pay the extra $4-5 dollar a pound when in "season" for the real thing.
- engx 10y agoI'm not directly responding to your comment but some of the best sushi chefs use fish that was frozen. And this says all sushi served in the US has to be freezed to kill any bacteria- https://mobile.nytimes.com/2004/04/08/nyregion/sushi-fresh-from-the-deep-the-deep-freeze.html https://mobile.nytimes.com/2004/04/08/nyregion/sushi-fresh-f...
