Wild caught seafood is seafood that is harvested from its natural, wild habitat and not farmed.

Choosing wild fish offers a variety of health and ecological benefits. First, wild caught seafood has no antibiotics, no additives, no phosphates, sulphides or color enhancers.

Next, wild fish has less (if any) contamination with PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl) dioxins and methylmercury.

Finally, wild caught fish is better for the environment. Salmon farms pose real environmental risks along with health risks to you!

Meal Genius highly suggests you avoid farmed fish.
