I am still a little unclear/uncertain about the difference between 'wild' and 'wild-caught' fish. I have read some conflicting information. Wild is pretty clear - it was never in a farm (though I am not sure how they can know this for certain) and was spawned and spent its entire life in the wild before being caught - has all the flavor and other qualities (free of the hormones, antibiotics etc.) of truly wild fish. But what about the fish labeled "wild-caught?" Some say that wild-caught means they were spawned in hatcheries, raised until fingerlings, released and caught years later such that they generally taste and have the qualities of true wild fish because the vast majority of their lives weren't spent in pens (in 'salmon farms,' in the case of salmon). Others say that it's basically a way for large fishing companies to trick the consumer by circumventing the labeling process by releasing a farm raised fish, complete with its hormones and antibiotics and poor health and bland flavor from its life of fish pellet eating etc., into a stream, river or bay and then immediately catching it and being able to claim: look, it was caught in the wild! It's "wild-caught!" Is this another example of special interests tricking/misleading the consumer for profit? Probably...
