Is there a Difference Between Wild Salmon
and
Farm-Raised Salmon?

Yes, absolutely!  Farmed salmon is less nutritious than wild salmon.  Why?

Farmed fish are far inferior to their wild counterparts. Despite being much fattier, farmed fish provide less usable beneficial omega 3 fats than wild fish.  Fat content found in farmed salmon is about 30 to 35 percent while the fat content in wild salmon is below 20 percent, though with a protein content over 20 percent higher.  

Farm-raised salmon contain higher amounts of omega 6 fats instead of the much healthier imega 3s, which are found in wild fish.  Farm-raised fish are fed antibiotics and are exposed to a higher concentration of pesticides than wild salmon.  Farmed salmon are also given a salmon-colored dye added to their feed that without this their flesh would be a grey color.

~ Wine Suggestions ~

_______________________

With this dish, Sauvignon Blanc.  It will do its share to balance the heat of this classic Cajun dish.  As for red wine selections, opt for a versatile Pinot Noir or a snazzy Shiraz, both are typically low in tannin structure and have an easy-going palate presence that will sustain and complement a sizzling gumbo or Etouffee filled with shrimp, chicken or sausage.
