> Nope, precisely because they can be controlled for heavy metal intake and the like. Surprised me too.

Pretty sure Chilean salmon, the only one I can get, is awful for you and also bad for the ecosystem. I hear bad things about some Norwegian salmon too (whose main branch apparently "owns" Chilean salmon farms).

Depends on which part of the world you live. Over here it's Chilean salmon. Apparently, pretty bad.

edit: wait, your link recommends wild caught salmon from Alaska, and considers farmed Atlantic salmon as dodgy! From the website you linked to:

> "Atlantic salmon sustainability varies. Avoid wild Atlantic salmon as they are struggling in the wild and numbers are dangerously low. Most of what’s in the market is farmed. There are environmental concerns relating to the farming of salmon. Check labels for how and where it was produced and look out for eco-labels [...]"

"There are environmental concerns relating to the farming of salmon"

What I heard is that Chilean salmon is pumped full of antibiotics.

There are two concerns that that website addresses: sustainability and health. They don't always align.

Here in Europe I've never seen Chilean salmon (or Alaskan) for sale.
