But not ALL farmed fish is bad for you, or lacking in flavor, actually some farmed stuff is better for the environment.

Does the same apply to meat when it comes to free range? I would imagine that I would have to go to a fancy meat shop for that though... Thanks for the info.

Hope this information will help you out in the future. @Alec: That's scary. Is there any way to know for sure? @Nina: To answer your first question, I don't know yet. I just figured out this 養殖 thing recently, and I haven't bought enough fish since to have a good idea. My guess is that they would be more expensive, but probably not by much (though it may vary by fish type). To answer your second question, where I live the local grocer is pretty expensive (they only carry 国産 food). I still shop there a lot, but AEON/MaxValu is generally cheaper for most items. Even if it wasn't cheaper, I'd still shop there occasionally because it is attached to the big shopping center/mall that we go to often (it's where my import store is). I like to get everything I need in one go if possible. @Skye: You’re welcome. Hope this information will help you out in the future.

Have you found this to be the case? And what's up with shopping at AEON?! That place is mad expensive compared to local grocers...well, usually anyway.

Saw a documentary about Scottish salmon; often the 'wild fish' are just fish farmed in a tiny cage in a big river. Not much different to farmed fish. Don’t be fooled so easily though.
