Well my aunt just past away this week but My uncle is Snapper of Ketchikan, (and Yes I am related to almost the whole town) He loves to do trades and meet people from all over but it may take him some time to learn to breathe again after losing his wonderful wife - She was a treasure!!!! I hate cancer - send me a personal note via this forum and I will try to hook you up.

We used to trade beef for salmon every summer!

Are the people predicting all the fish will be gone the same idiots who predicted an ice age in the 70's? "global warming"? acid rain? The landfill crisis? The population bomb? The great top soil crisis and a new dust bowl? I am sure I am leaving out a crisis or two....

The weed purslane also has Omega 3. Used to have it abundantly in my IL garden. Don't have it in my TN garden. That's pretty much all I miss about IL.

Grass fed beef is a good source of omega three. The grain fed feedlot beef you buy in the grocery store is way too low in omega three and too high in omega six. Just eat as much food raised the way nature intended as you can and you will be better off. Simply free ranging your hens helps some as well.

Here is a link that has foods with Omega 3 Fatty Acids in them. Flaxseeds, Walnuts, Salmon, chinook, Oregano, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Broccoli, were some of the better foods..

All nuts have omega fatty acids. Walnuts just have the most. Most seeds including grains have some level. Even raspberries and miso made the bottom of the list in that link. It's not like you can't find fatty acids all over the place. We just tend not to eat fresh whole foods and some forms of cooking destroy useful nutrients like that.

I think that farm raised salmon does have Omega 3's,
just not as much as 'cold water' Salmon. So, the natural,
would of course be better to eat, but the farm raised is
by no means bad.

Don't pass up the farm raised salmon for a double bacon cheeseburger!

the farm raised is
by no means bad.

The thing that makes farm raised salmon BAD is the fact that they are being fed CORN among other things.​

Farm raised fish are pretty bad. It does help the ecosystem but the fish aren't kept or fed very well. Kinda like egg yolks the flesh often has to be dyed to get the proper pink color or they are pale salmon because of the conditions they live. Fish are probably one of the most abused creatures on the planet but no one really notices. Either option of farm raised or wild caught has both moral and health arguments.

Hey now I didnt start this thread to have a debate about ethical fish farming or anything, lets keep it nice and debate free. I just wanted to share the news that if you feed your chickens flax seed it raises the Omegas in their eggs!!! Not fish, chickens, kay!?
