Is store bought salmon really that bad?

I used to love eating salmon. But ever since I heard about farmed salmon and heavy traces of mercury in fish, I quit eating salmon completely. And plus, the last few times I eat salmon, it made me feel kinda sick to my stomach.

Farmed salmon from Asia is gonna be nasty. They feed the salmon manure from hog farms and the hogs have been fed chicken manure from chicken farms...lots of heavy metals in farm-raised fish.

@cherokeepatti Well...do you think stores commonly sell farmed salmon from Asia?

@StrangeLife94 Yes they do. You can tell farm-raised from wild by looking at it. They dye it and there are stripe marks on the flesh.

@cherokeepatti So wild caught salmon is better?

@StrangeLife94 It wont' have those nasty metals in it.
