Non-farm Raised Salmon In Pubs In Bkk?

[gregswim]

Anyone know how one can ensure that he/she is eating salmon that is from the wild rather than farm-raised. There is supposed to be a huge difference in toxicity. Thanks.

I think that prize should be a good indicator. As such it is probably unlikely that you will find any wild Salmon in a Pub in Thailand, you will have to go more up-market than that.

Agree with hanno. The only wild salmon you are likely to find here will be in upmarket hotels and restaurants and at huge cost. But there is a difference between farmed salmon from tanks and 'semi' wild salmon that is bred in pens in some West of Scotland lochs and similar places around the world. If you look at supermarket salmon, notice how much fat is has. That nice striped orange effect where the fat is really noticeable is from farmed salmon, as they are not moving about enough and just eat. But if you go to the Emporium and siimilar supermarkets, you will notice that both fresh and smoked salmon is darker and has fewer white fat stripes, but you pay more.
