Atlantic salmon (species) is an invasive fish but most commonly farmed. Tastes bland, your standard “safe” menu item in a restaurant (like chicken, but swimmy)
Loch Duart out of Scotland had the absolute best farm raised salmon, super fatty & cery much like wild caught.
(you have to weigh in with the environmental impact of air freight though…no bueno)
The best alternative to wild salmon (IMO) is steelhead.
