How To Buy The Healthiest Salmon

Huff Post  

By Lisa Gosselin, Editorial Director, EatingWell Magazine I went to two dinner parties recently and guess what was served at both? The first choice you should make is whether to buy wild salmon or farmed Atlantic salmon. The reason: many farms use crowded pens where salmon are easily infected with lice, may be treated with antibiotics and can spread disease to wild fish. The Environmental Defense Fund lists farmed Atlantic salmon as an “Eco-Worst” choice and recommends people eat no more than two servings a month due to high PCB levels. Many farmed Atlantic salmon are given feed with astaxanthin and, in some instances, a manufactured pigment called canthaxanthin, to turn their flesh orange.
