Unfortunately, the BC Seafood Festival features Atlantic, farmed salmon not wild, Pacific salmon. Farmed salmon feed is loaded with toxins and antibiotics. They are loaded with sea lice and disease. Do not eat this inferior, feed lot product that is polluting our environment. Do not ruin your reputation for the sake of a Norwegian corporation. Refuse to serve MOWI salmon.
