<<Wild fish tend to be better than farm raised but I like the idea of farm raised, they are more ecological, and I think a lot depends on the quality of the feed and the water.>> The wild fish in some areas have been having some disease problems that stunts their growth. Then again wild fish can taste great or crappy, depending on what they've been swimming in and eating. Farm raised gives you a pretty steady product. I knew a guy who went into raising catfish 25 years ago. It took a government gimme for him to make any money and quit after a year. He couldn't figure out how to get them out of his pond so I put on my waders and seined them out of the 35 degree water. He kept tossing the tadpoles and I told him I'd haul them to his son's pond if he'd keep them. These were the huge Louisiana bullfrog tadpoles. I hauled them to the pond and the next year they killed the frogs and ate the frogs. Notice WE wasn't in that sentence after freezing while getting them.
