Certainly, in the north, the farmed fish come to the table tasting fresher than wild-caught fish.
Fish is - like livestock - much more energetically costly than arable crops, but really does taste good so, for one or two meals a week, it is good value for rich and poor alike.

However, the price is outrageous in the UK. Farmed salmon is much cheaper than haddock.
I was in the Oyster Bar in Loch Fyne (West Scotland) yesterday and I was looking at the prices. Allowing for the fact that this establishment is an up-market retailer with a national reputation for gourmet sea food dining, the prices seemed over the top.
Monkfish at £29.99 kg. King Scallops at £25.00kg.
It seems no time when you could get these for next to nothing.
The trouble here is that most of the catch in Scotland ends up in Spain and France who are used to spending money on fish.
Up here , fish has always been thought of as something you bought as a cheap meal. Not any more !!
