I’ll bet it will be as tasty as those tomatoes modified to grow and “ripen” faster.
Looking past the end of my nose, I hope that thse things don’t get out in the wild. Raising them in the general area* of Jurassic Park does give pause…
The Lobster Place has some organically farmed salmon (I think they’re hand fed, scored 1600 on their SATs and attended Harvard given the pricing) which is a pretty good alternative when wild salmon isn’t available.
Costco said Friday it does not intend to sell genetically modified salmon at this time, joining a list of retailers that say they will not sell the fish despite the approval Thursday by the federal Food and Drug Administration of such fish for human consumption.
Retailers including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Target and Kroger have all said they are not planning to sell AquAdvantage Salmon.
One of the beautiful luxuries to be had in living in the PNW is Salmon. Atlantic Salmon is already in the back seat quality wise, making it GMO too hardly matters.
They’ll find lots of willing buyers if they can underprice other sources. I wouldn’t worry about AquaAdvantage, Inc.
If you honestly don’t like the taste, don’t like even responsible aquaculture, or worry about interbreeding; don’t buy it. But “frankenfish”??? c’mon. Are 99.99% of European wines “frankenwines” because they came from vines grafted onto American rootstock? Are carrots “frankenveg” because they are the result of careful breeding to honor William of Orange/Dutch independence?
