Recent studies have found salmon fraud in many eateries. Farmed salmon being mislabeled as wild salmon. Wild Caught definitely has more nutritional value due to its higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids and lower levels of pollutants (mercury, etc.). Alaskan salmon is wild caught, Atlantic is farmed.

If you are ordering salmon or other fish in a restaurant or market it is helpful to know where they buy the fish and what part of the world it came from.
