New studies show farmed-raised salmon may be as environmentally
safe as the wild varieties
Contrary to earlier studies, farm-raised salmon may be as
environmentally safe as the wild varieties of salmon. The latest
studies by Salmon of the Americas (SOTA) show levels of
PCBs in farmed salmon at about the same levels as those from
wild Alaska Chinook and Sockeye salmon. This rebuts the
notorious Hites study which appeared in the journal Science in
January 2004 proclaiming farmed salmon to have higher levels of
PCBs than their wild cousins.
In addition, mercury, which has been a problem for some other
fish, is not a problem in farmed or wild salmon, according to
SOTA.
The Honey Smoked Fish Co. tests their products periodically for
environmental pollutants and has found no PCBs in their tests,
according to Kevin Mason, Owner. He points out that farm-raised
salmon allows for more efficient control than wild caught
salmon. He added that Honey Smoked Fish Co. uses all natural
ingredients without adding chemicals in the brining or smoking
process.
"Our customers are raving about the variety of recipes they can
create with our Honey Smoked Salmon," says Kevin Mason, Owner.
"It's perfect for party and seafood platters as well as buffets.
You can serve it on pasta, in salads, in hot or cold sandwiches,
wraps and on bagels or crackers with cream cheese. Be creative
and add to omelets, crepes, quiches, quesadillas, tacos,
enchiladas, pizza, baked potatoes, rice and vegetable dishes,
fish chowder."
For the holidays, try using a whole salmon side (about 4 pounds)
for an awesome display at banquets and catering events.
