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.
