Q
Is farm-raised salmon worse than wild?
A
Expert Answer
Wild salmon is leaner with more omega-3s relative to omega-6s, and fewer contaminants. Farmed salmon has more fat and calories, may contain antibiotics, and has environmental concerns. However, farming practices are improving. Both provide nutrients; wild is generally preferred if available and affordable.
