Some were labeled wild and some were labeled farmed. She found that of those labeled "wild" many (actually most) of them in fact were not wild. She attributed this to a couple things - first, that the seller might just be lying. But more disturbingly, and the other explanation is that there are likely a number of farmed fish that escape from the farm through holes in nets or whatever and when they are wild caught, you still end up with a farmed (or half farmed) fish, although it has been labeled and sold as wild. Kinda scary. I don’t know if this relates at all, but in What To Eat by Marion Nestle she purchased all sorts of fish from Whole Foods and other sources in NYC.
