Farmed Fish Compared To Wild Fish The Differences

Hi. Welcome to Broadway Market at Fin and Flounder. I'm here with my colleague Paul.

I'm going to show you how to cook and prepare fish and hopefully go through the quality and the produce that we have in the shop as well. So we're going to talk about the difference between farmed and wild. Now predominantly a lot of fish is now being farmed.

You will find turbot farmed, you will find breem, you will find bass. The reason being is obviously we're growing, the population's growing very, very quickly, people concerned about sustainability so a lot of fish is now being farmed and to a very high standard. So some of the most popular ones I think like bream and sea bass.

This is a farmed breem here and this is a farmed bass. Now what you'll find with the farmed products is that they won't look I mean anybody looking can kind of see is that they don't look like they're predators. So any fish that's out in the wild is a predator so maybe they don't look as menacing, their teeth, they don't have sharp teeth, they may be a bit fatter because of obviously the feed that they're doing, they may have more of a brownish tinge where they're farmed away from the sea.

So you've also got farmed salmon and you've got wild salmon. Now the price between the two is obviously vastly different. One is more expensive than the other.

And so the farming between breem and bass is very, very good. The farming between kind of turbot and halibut is still in its kind of infancy and it's still, they're still working on it. You'll find that you can get farmed organic prawns now but you can also get wild tiger prawns as well.

So it's a fall off between the two and whether users feel the standards are there and whether you feel you would prefer to have wild. They're looking into organic farming now and I think it's improving vastly.
