Dear Beth,

The April issue of EatingWell magazine has an interesting article by David Dobbs, "The Wild Salmon Debate", on choosing wild vs. farmed salmon. The article includes some of my favorite salmon recipes which I hope you'll enjoy.  (A link to the article and recipes are below). 

Close to my home it looks like California and Oregon might not have a wild salmon season this year due to the alarmingly small number of returning salmon to their breeding places. 
 
Most agree that the future of fish in our diet will come from farm raised sources.  The sad truth is that our oceans are being over fished and soon will be beyond their capacity to supply a rapidly expanding world population.  The challenge for us all is to become more familiar with those fishes and shellfishes which can be sustainably and wholesomely farm raised.  If you want a handy guide to help you in making good choices you can down load a seafood watch card from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
 
Happy Spring to you all!"
John Ash

Eggs
Union of Concerned Scientists has a good web site for information on all kinds of food issues.  Here's one that I found interesting on all of the adjectives that are being used to describe eggs.
