Farmed are also dramatically lower in parasites. If you buy wild salmon, make sure to cook it well done. Or that it was frozen.

- graemep 3y agoI think you have that the wrong way round: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/farmed-salmon-decimate-wild-populations-by-exposing-them-to-parasites https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/farmed-sa...
- taeric 3y agoI will try and read that article later when I can bypass paywall, but googling in the past showed 70 to 90 percent of wild salmon have parasites. Personal experience aligned with this. I have no doubts farmed can introduce new parasites. But our supply chains have far cleaner animals than people realize. Is a large part of why rarer steaks are safer today. Edit: I should add it is largely safe to assume farmed has been frozen before you get it as a consumer?
