And that is it. Consumers deserve to know the facts about the food they cosohe to eat but not everyone has the energy or time to actually seek out facts.I’m glad to see chefs taking a lead role in getting on the ground and educating themselves about farmed seafood. They are a trusted source of information and do have a responsibility to really understand the business (both benefit and risk, with some context to other foods).As a salmon farmer in BC, I feel quite sure that if everyone had the opportunity to visit a salmon farm and talk to a farmer, they would feel very very confident ordering Canadian farmed salmon. Nice to see guys like Kenton have done so and agree with me!

Hello Eric,

Thank you for sending this information!

The Aquaculture Statistics 2010 report from Statistics Canada was my key resource in preparing this post and unfortunately data on trout production was limited for some provinces.

It’s great to know that we can find locally-farmed trout across Canada.

Regards,
Sheri Beaulieu

Hello Sheri,

For no. 3, some provinces were forgotten …

Actually, there is a significant production of rainbow trout in Saskatchewan (Wild West Steelhead).

The provinces of Manitoba and Alberta have also, on a smaller scale, a production of rainbow trout for the table.

We can also find rainbow trout (“steelhead”) farms in Newfoundland but they can be found in saltwater.

We can definitely find rainbow trout locally pretty much everywhere in Canada!

Thanks Ian. I didn’t realize Manitoulin was once home to you. It really is beautiful.

Great report Sheri. Loved seeing the photos of Manitoulin. Got a little homesick for a second!

Comment on Omega-3 Contents of Farmed versus Wild Fish by Jeremy Twigg

The verdict is in! Both farmed and wild fish are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids! Shellfish are great sources, too.

Love the photo of the ‘visitors’, clearly identified as such, peeking into the tank.
