atlantic salmon is farmed throughout the world, with chile, british columbia and washington, eastern canada and northern europe the main farming regions. atlantic salmon accounts for more than 95% of all farmed salmon in the world. a consistent, high quality supply is available year round due to the farming methods. the fish are raised in large floating net pens. new technologies and improved animal husbandry have largely eliminated the need for antibiotics in the raising of atlantic salmon. farmed salmon have a carotenoid pigment (astaxanthin) added to the feed to give the flesh its orange-reddish color. wild salmon receive these carotenoids by their diet which includes small crustaceans rich in these carotenoids. the meat is moderately firm and oily and will have a marbled look to it when raw. the flavor of atlantic salmon is milder than the wild salmon species. cooking methods that lend themselves well are baking, broiling, grilling, poaching and smoking.
