- gowld 7y agoWaPo tried to test this, and found that a bit of added salt overwhelms any difference in meat quality. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/farmed-vs-wild-salmon-can-you-taste-the-difference/2013/09/23/3a2650a2-1fcb-11e3-8459-657e0c72fec8_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/farmed-vs-wild...
- buildzr 7y agoInteresting, I seem to remember America's Test Kitchen pointed to some major differences with Salmon, fat content, taste and even suggested cooking temperature. I mean, I buy the farmed stuff because it's good enough for me, but I'm not exactly a super taster given my love for bitter stuff.
- ivanhoe 7y agoI don't buy this, in my experience farmed fish (at least where I live on the coast of the Adriatic sea), just like mass produced chicken, has noticeably softer meat with more fat. Perhaps you can't spot the difference when skillfully prepared, but while cleaning and cutting it it's obvious. Also the same kind of fish caught in Atlantic tastes very different than the ones from Adriatic, ocean fish having different/stronger smell.
