There is a great deal. It mostly has to do with what they eat. Wild caught salmon eat a variety of wild food. Farm raised salmon live on pellets. There is also the matter of looks. Since a lot of how we eat has do do with what we see. If coloring wasn’t added farm raised salmon would be white.
Which would you want to eat?
My brother and I spent many summers where our dad was a commercial salmon fisherman (school teacher during the school year). All the fish we ate had a heartbeat a few hours before we ate it. And it was free.
Edit 9/25/2020 Someone asked in a comment how farmed salmon got their pink color. But then somehow the comment got taken down. I found the answer, it’s very interesting and apparently expensive.
How Farmers Turn Their Salmon Pink
10/02/20 So many comments about the higher fat content in farmed Salmon. Also the dispute about wild Atlantic being the same light pink as farmed. No one has been able to provide anything but lip service so far. In the mean time I found this interesting bit of information.
I previously thought the white lines were collagen, but it turns out they are fat, but not in a good way.
Thanks for Reading
