Salmon, like many other foods comes in several varieties. There are six species: one species of Atlantic and five species of Pacific salmon. Pacific salmon are both farm-raised and wild-caught. Salmon have different tastes, textures and prices, which add to their appeal. But, best of all, they are all low in saturated fat and high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to be good for your heart and general well-being.
Which salmon should you choose?
It’s up to you. We think you should try them all and see what you like. They are all good for you and all cook up in a tasty meal. While wild-caught salmon is only available for three to four months in the summer, you can continue to enjoy fresh, farm-raised salmon year-round.
