This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

It's farmed
Not caught in the wild
That's a good thing for salmon. We're grossly overfishing wild salmon. Plus, you could use this to make sushi.
Doesn't taste like it's supposed to.
While I am as pro-planet as anyone, I have a sneaking suspicion there would be no "over farming" if capitalism didn't throw away 3 for ever 1 they sell.
Instead of making us eat fish that tastes like, hmm, not sure anymore, they should instead make fines for wasting.
Where do you live that salmon is so cheap they can afford to throw away 3 for every 1 they sell? Around here when they have stockpiles about to expire they run a deep discount and it's still more expensive per kg than meat from things with legs.
I used to work in salmon farming
It's a disgraceful industry and I got out as soon as I possibly could
