Fish: Consumption
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to encourage the public to eat more wild fish as an alternative to farmed salmon.
- Answer
-
We have no plans to encourage the public to eat more wild fish as an alternative to farmed salmon. Both wild caught and farmed seafood have an important role to play in providing a sustainable and healthy source of protein. Farmed salmon, in particular, is an important source of oily fish, with the NHS recommending that adults eat at least two portions of fish per week, including one portion of oily fish.
