Salmon is one of the very best foods you can eat. You already know all the reasons why. But... quality varies widely. I personally believe a wild salmon is infinitely preferable to any kind of farm-raised.
In fact, I won't knowingly eat anything but wild salmon.
Where to obtain it? Can you trust the labeling at your stores fish counter? If Whole Foods Market or Wild Oats, probably yes. If another chain store, possibly or likely not (unfortunately).
I have tried several sources direct from Alaska. Recently I bought from Wild Alaskan Salmon Company (http://www.wildalaskansalmoncompany.com) and was very pleased with what the "King Salmon" I received.
There are several different species of salmon and king is by far superior to all others in taste, texture, and nutritional content.
I have no association to the company above, nor do I receive any compensation if you buy from them. Do a Google on them if you don't want to click the (direct) link above.
When I receive what believe is a superior value, I am happy to give them a good word.
