As a marine biologist, the question of whether to choose farmed salmon or wild salmon, and what was better for the environment, plagued me. So I did a lot of digging, found a lot of misinformation and lies, and came to my own personal conclusion as to what salmon I'll be eating in the future. I hope my journey down this rabbit hole will help you decide which salmon to eat if, like me, you care about the ocean and want to help protect it.
