Choose wild salmon to reap the health benefits of this fatty fish. Wild salmon is easily identifiable as its flesh is bright red and contains very little fat (very thin white stripes in the flesh). Since wild salmon swim in the wild eating what nature intended them to eat, their nutritional profile is more complete. Farmed salmon, by comparison, are fed an unnatural diet of soy and corn (never found naturally growing in the ocean!) along with chicken and feather meal. This unnatural diet means that the nutritional content of farmed salmon is markedly different from the wild variety. In particular, its omega-3 fatty acid content is much lower. Farmed salmon also contain a lot more fat (since they can't swim around as freely) and are often carriers of toxic viruses.
