I'm in Scotland, and in general I'll select wild fish from Scottish waters or farmed fish from Norway, as the Norwegians have very good standards.

I'll also swerve fish (such as salmon) from Chile, as standards are relatively low there - for example, they permit a much higher sea lice count than anywhere in Europe.

For shellfish, I prefer wild Scottish sources, but Scottish farmed is OK too. I'd swerve shellfish (typically prawns) from Bangladesh, as despite farming often being done in a small scale, standards can be low.

Farmed salmon from Norway is the main kind available at fish counters in German supermarkets, so that’s good to hear.
