I'm not Jodi, but I only eat wild-caught fish so thought I'd answer too.

It takes some searching, and sometimes asking questions, but you can find wild-caught fish.

I can find a few brands of frozen wild-caught fish in my local stores. Read labels, as wild-caught will be stated; if it's farm-raised the labels might say, or might not. One or two of the Walmarts near me have a frozen wild-caught salmon (half of a salmon) that my body tolerates well. I can't touch a frozen wild-caught fish that has been processed, or cut into small pieces; there's something in the processing that my body doesn't tolerate. But if yours tolerates these, then you can often find frozen wild-caught fish, cut into smaller pieces, in chain grocery stores. So I look for a frozen wild-caught fish that has been cleaned but just cut in half. By the time I get the groceries home the frozen fish has thawed a bit so I cut it into smaller filets and put back in the freezer, or let thaw completely so I can cook it immediately. I've had to purchase frozen whole fish (without heads) a few times, and clean them out when thawed. Not my favorite activity, but necessary at times [grin].

I also live near the coast (Gulf Coast) so have access to plenty of fish markets within an hour's drive. There I ask lots of questions to ensure that the fish I purchase are wild-caught. I usually don't get salmon from the local fish markets as they are usually farm-raised, or frozen (at twice the cost of Walmart's) but I can choose plenty of other types.

My digestion doesn't like canned fish, but I've found several brands of wild-caught canned salmon in the local grocery stores that don't have any illegals added; same with tuna. But since my digestion just doesn't like whatever they do in the canning process I no longer get the canned wild-caught fish.

TJs has wild frozen salmon - I believe - and I know they

also have smoked wild salmon - very inexpensively - it's

frozen right after being caught. Also legal - no sugar added,

they have two kinds.

Costco also sells large packages of wild fresh salmon

inexpensively. Perfect for a big family.

They also sell packs of wild canned salmon.

I get wild caught fish (usually salmon) at the meat counter at Sprout's grocery

store. They have little flags that tell whether it's farm raised or wild caught.

I usually only buy on sale, and sometimes there are some good ones! I imagine

that they have something similar at places like Whole Foods.

My mom buys frozen wild caught tilapia at Sam's Club. I think she gets frozen

wild caught cod there too.

Re: Wild caught fish

I recently learned that wild *caught* fish can actually be farmed fish that

are farmed off shore and then voila'... caught in the wild. From which most

of us would think, " oh, it's wild fish " but it's really not.

I don't remember the source of the info, but it certainly sounded

reliable---and just like the very tricky behavior big companies can use to

trick us. So I'm on the hunt for *wild* fish, not just wild caught.

No, it's not. I'm always amazed at the difference in labels and the sneakiness

of it all. Like the " All Natural " label and the " natural flavorings " label-

heck, gasoline is natural LOL- hope that's not in there!. Or the " wild caught

farm raised fish " .

I found some ground beef labeled " 100% all natural " but never on the label did

it say 100% beef. I didn't eat it.

Sounds like just another one where they lie to us a lot. Like the

juices. Your juice, apple let's say, says no added ingredients, and if we

question them, they are telling us the truth. They DON'T add

anything. But, I was reading the other day, that the people that

bottles the apple juice gets bulk juice from somewhere else, and we (and

they) have no idea at all what may (or may not) have been added

there. No wonder we can't trust apple juice!

Sounds like " wild fish " is another one of these.
