It is a source of protein.

No way do I eat farmed fish. To me it is artificial food. In the developing

years, they had to cover the salmon pens - the fish got sunburned from lack

of nutrients in their feed. They are fed shrimp shells to give that " salmon "

color. They are also fed dye to give color. Other fish farms have major

troubles with health issues from the unnatural diet the fish are grown on.

And have you ever tasted that garbage? Compared to " real " fish it is like

eating cardboard! Nope, I pass.

Fairly sad. and hopefully the sushi place i go to from time to time doesnt use

farm raised, but then i usually only go for the tuna stuff.

Kelvin, there are some good how-to's on Amazon for Sushi (and other Japanses

foods like tofu, japanese pickels & Veggies). I've seen it done at home and its

one of those things that gets better with practice

ha! thx syl... i'm even more bummed out about the prospect of having

to make my own sushi! what good is going out to eat when you can't

trust the food you're eating at the restaurant, and you have to make

it yourself to enjoy a good meal. <sigh> takes the fun out of going

out to eat. well, at least part of it.

hmmm... i wonder if i can bring my own fish to have them prepare...

hahaha... that'd be an interesting situation.

Sushi is easy. You can learn.

80% of all fish in a fish market is farmed.

AND it was WILD salmon. I'm just worried about cross breeding. Around here

unless you are fishing with a Native American or you are fishing on a

reservation, you cannot keep the wild salmon you catch. HUGE fine for

doing so. I live in Washington state.
