does wild have mercury in it as i know farm raised is not good and i know mercury can make them itchy too  |
Cod is already in the low-mercury category which I gather you already know...
Farm raising is
generally associated with higher mercury content because of the food, run off and other circumstances surrounding farm raising. Wild
generally is better. Plus you are supporting independent fisheries, ahh my capitalism streak is showing
... back on topic. .. I don't know about farm raised cod vs wild cod. I know the the wild supply is down; I honestly don't know if the cod at my fish guy is farm or wild, I may ask the next time.
Suggestion...find a local market - near you or SF - where you can purchase a wide range of whole fish, then get to know the people. That's how you'll get the good stuff.
