Fisherman Direct…ly lying to you!

On on-line salmon buying website does it’s best to promote Alaskan salmon. Too bad it feels that it has to attack the competition in order to boost sales. In the “commonly asked questions” page, it veers off from the positive into the slanderous “why you shouldn’t buy farmed salmon” rhetoric that consumers are growing tired of.

Here’s just one example of a flat-out lie taken directly from their site;

Q: Are all Salmon in Alaska Wild? A: YES, All the salmon found in Alaskan waters are wild! In fact it is illegal to farm salmon in Alaska.

We call bullshit on that one:

Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation, Alaska (salmon farm)
