good on you - the whole process of intensively rearing salmon in sea lochs for human consumption, as well as being terribly damaging to the environment is damaging to wild fish stocks - both salmon and sea trout as well as sandeel stocks that they harvest (no quotas) to produce the food pellets to feed farmed salmon. Farmed salmon in general is a poor alternative to wild salmon - colourless, flabby and full of fat. Let's not mention packed full of chemicals, antibiotics and colourings to make them look 'wild'.I shall even eschew smoked salmon/scrambled eggs for Christmas breakfast
I think salmon is a pretty overrated fish, the farmed type especially - not much better than tucking into a macdonalds IMHO. but if I had to, I would only eat wild salmon - and as salmon stocks are on a knife edge at the moment, in no small part due to polluters like Welsh Water and other uti;ity companies I don't eat it at all
