Wild Atlantic Salmon

[spence]

Noticed a restaurant had "fresh wild caught Atlantic salmon" on the menu. I thought all Atlantic salmon was farm raised these days? Am I missing something or is it just a case of mis-representation?

The Scots still have some commercial stocks. Could be bogus too.

Nah, just means some young guy at the plant, got drunk, jumped into the tank and scooped yours up in a net.

Allowing the retailer to list it accordingly

From Saving seafood:" Two conservation groups said Tuesday a deal has been struck with commercial fishermen in Greenland and the Faroe Islands that will help thousands of vulnerable Atlantic salmon return to rivers in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Commercial fishing for Atlantic salmon is prohibited in the United States, where the fish’s Gulf of Maine population is listed under the Endangered Species Act. But the Atlantic Salmon Federation and North Atlantic Salmon Fund said their new deal with Greenland and Faroe Island fishers is a major step toward recovery because it will dramatically reduce fishing.
Coastal Greenland and the waters off the Faroe Islands are important feeding grounds for salmon. Fishermen who work those waters take fish that originate in both jeopardized populations in Maine and New Brunswick, Canada, and healthy populations elsewhere.
The agreement places new limits on fishing, including ending the Faroe Islands fishery.

So evidently Greenland and the Faroe islands have commercial Atlantic Salmon fisheries.
