Thanks to intensive farming, salmon has become a cheap and affordable fish to everyone. Unfortunately farming does not replicate the splendid taste that salmon develops living in the wild in the cold waters of the north where the fish swim against the current. If you happen to find wild salmon, do not hesitate to buy it, it’s worth trying it at least once.
