They "Jeff" said that although it was farmed, it was still saltwater, coldwater etc. also the temperature that they freeze it down to (-40) kills any bad stuff. At any rate, i ordered somew and it was fantastic, the best I have ever had. They do get wild salmon there from time to time but its not always on the site, just call and ask them.

I know a lot of fish farms are actually pretty bad in that they create a lot of very concentrated pollution due to the large numbers of fish in one area AND they also make it easy for parasites to be transmitted since the fish are all kept in a tiny netted area. Is anything known about Catalina's source of farm-raised salmon? I see that you recommend Catalina Offshore… but I’m looking at their site and they only sell fresh salmon that is farm-raised.

Been a while... I moved to Seattle suburb from California. I'm getting a lot less sushi here, so I find myself making more sushi at home. Finding sushi grade fish is also hard. I have to go to a Japanese market in Seattle to get fish for sushi. I can't really trust local Asian market or American market... That being said, there is a great Japanese restaurant in Seattle. The place is called Nishino. Their sushi is one of the best I have ever eaten. Hi, Warren. Been a while…
