Thanks Zest interesting read, so it awnsers the question and i could ward off heart disease. Iv never belived the whole fat is bad for you. Yes certain fats but not all.

Hi Zest,

As the article is from The Daily Mail (mainstream media) then I take what it says about salmon possibly being heart healthy with a pinch of salt.

Now, factory farms and fish farming is a massive problem to not only our health but to the environment as well.

I can’t tell you the ins and outs cos I am a bit dim :), but my mum has seen quite a few videos on youtube about fish farming and salmon and it doesn’t look good.

I don’t think I will be ever going near salmon again.

Mine is fresh caught salmon not farmed.

I love salmon too and if I don’t want what the rest of the family are eating it’s my preferred alternative. Bought some in Lidl yesterday on offer in chill cabinet - large pack about £8.50, pieces individually wrapped and suitable for freezing.
