Atlantic salmon
Salmo salar
Overview
Atlantic salmon sustainability varies. Avoid wild Atlantic salmon as they are struggling in the wild and numbers are dangerously low. Most of what’s in the market is farmed. There are environmental concerns relating to the farming of salmon. Check labels for how and where it was produced and look out for eco-labels: the Best Choices are organic or Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). If these aren’t available, wild-caught Pacific salmon is a good alternative. All wild Alaskan salmon are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and you’ll see this label on the packet. Atlantic salmon is widely sold in supermarkets as fresh fillets, smoked salmon, ready meals, and frozen products.
