Parasitic Fish Lice

Yes, so I said it twice to be sure. As a former pro fisherman I can testify!

Oh fair enough.

Um, yeah. I used to be an avid fisherman until almost all the fish I caught were infested with various parasites (gills, throat, body) and it's kinda off-putting when filetting the fish you get flesh-eating worms wiggling through the flesh. Reading about the sea lice infesting many if not all of the farmed salmon makes me reluctant to use this food source even though I enjoy the taste.

I avoid eating farmed salmon as well. It's kinda gross and the industry is hurting the population of wild salmon.

Wild salmon though is pretty amazing, especially if you can get it fresh rather than frozen.

I think I heard once on NPR that we export all our wild salmon and import mostly farm raised salmon. How does that make sense?!

Maybe most of it is caught in Alaska so the wild salmon isn't as close as it sounds? Here it is pretty easy to find wild salmon. If you see "Atlantic salmon" here in the west you can be pretty sure it is farmed.

Just driving back from a fishing trip out of Prince Rupert, BC so I've got some quality fish at the moment

I'm pretty sure it's because wild salmon sells for a lot in foreign markets.

Very cool man those eyes are crazy looking. Kind of reminds me of the Barreleye fish
