Not for the fish.

Few species are not endangered due to overfishing & pollutants. Farmed fish, like most farmed animals are pumped with growth hormones & anti-biotics. People have been warned not to eat fish caught from man coastal waters around The UK due to toxicity from pollutants such as mercury, dioxins, PCBs, etc.
