Why do wild salmon taste better tham farm raised salmon?
Second: Farmed salmon eat fish pellets made from fish. This diet gives the fish pale white or greyish flesh as such a diet doesn’t contain any natural carotenes. Carotenes are responsible for the orange colour of the flesh of a wild salmon – because they eat shrimps. The salmon farmers feed the salmon with pellets containing artificial colour. If you search for pictures on Google by googling “salmofan” you will se that the producers can create salmon with virtually any colour you like. The colour of the flesh doesn’t influence the taste of the salmon, though. But the diet of wild salmon beeing more diversified: Baitfish and shrimps, ensures it a better taste.
