I read somewhere that farm raised fish, such as salmon and catfish, are worse
to eat than the wild because of all the pesticide runoff and such that collects
in the water. The fish have high levels of this. Sometimes I think I need to
not eat anything that I do not raise or grow myself! :-) Just fyi.

That's interesting. I've read the same information on mercury
contamination. There was a column in the Washington Post that said,
at least for salmon, that the wild caught Alaskan salmon was less
likely to have pesticide contamination than the farm raised Atlantic
and that the omega-3 levels were higher in the wild caught. So, I've
been eating wild caught Alaskan when I eat salmon. I try to eat
seafood a couple of times a week, but I also try to avoid eating the
same species more than twice a month. I usually eat salmon, tuna,
sole, haddock, flounder, scallops, or shrimp.
