I do not touch farm raised fish .. It is gross period ..
I either buy wild at my fish Monger or when my dad, grand fathers, and sons take out the boat, someone drives down the catch ..
We also have distributors for foreign wild .. But most of our fish is from Cataluna, Spain, Portugal, the Marseille región of the Mediterranean which we fish, and Brittany, France (Blue lobsters from Saint Malo ) ..

Can't wait to see the finished product.
Are you able to get fresh salmon or is it pre-frozen. Wild caught or farm raised?
I quit using farm raised when I heard that Bayer had introduced GMO salmon. I can find wild caught. It has usually been flash frozen then defrosted for sale. Every now and then I find fresh, wild caught salmon at Whole Foods. Expensive. The process used in flash freezing does not seem to compromise either the texture or the flavor. Like you I do not purchase the entire side. So for the folks at Whole Foods have been willing to cut out the center portion for me - if they do not already have center pieces in the cooler.
I make crispy skin salmon that George salivates over.
