You simply can't supply the worlds demand with only "fresh" catches. It's impossible. Just look at the number of people eating shrimp on 'all you can eat shrimp night' in the ONE Red Lobster you are sitting in than multiply that by just the number of Red Lobster restaurants around just the USA and than multiply that by all the people eating shrimp in other restaurants and meals on that day in the WORLD. It is staggering. That's just ONE day.
I am willing to bet a lot of the so called "fresh" catch is right out of the the "fresh" farm tank. It has to be.
I'm also willing to bet, if you prepared a "fresh" caught piece of salmon and a "farm" raised piece of salmon side by side in the same pan with the same ingredients and didn't know which was which, you would have a hard time telling the difference.
