I LOVE the taste of salmon, but farm-raised (Atlantic for the most part) salmon is an environmental disaster for a lot of reasons (it pollutes the waterways with pesticides and fish lice, farmed salmon escape and compete with weakened wild stocks, it's inefficient [it takes 2 lbs of fish to make 1 lb of farmed salmon])... in short, it's VERY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
I love salmon, but it's extremely hard to find wild-caught salmon in the supermarkets because supermarkets are lagging behind in offering more eco-friendly alternatives.
Does someone know where I can get wild-caught salmon in West Los Angeles. I'd prefer to know a regular supermarket so I don't have to make an extra trip. I know that Whole Foods sometimes has it, but does anyone know of any others?

Trader Joe's. They have someof the best pre-prepared salmon around. Also, if you live in west LA, try downtown. Hit the fish markets. You bound to find it everywhere. I works near Central Ave. and Olympic and the fish places around here seem to have a wide variety of stuff. Hope this helps.

Caught in the icy waters of the North Atlantic means they have their fish farm there. You really need Bear-caught salmon- Hard to come by cos it entails a fight but worth the extra money. Good luck. ps keep away from supermarkets if you want to stay healthy.

You just wanted to inform us about your views on fish farming. Loser.
