This restaurant is serving farm raised salmon instead of wild salmon. Farm raised salmon has been shown to contain high levels of toxins like PCB. The salmon are fed 'salmon chow' that, among other things (which are a guarded secret), contains a coloring agent to make the salmon pink. Above all, salmon farming hurts the environment and is a serious threat to the wild salmon of the pacific northwest. It's not like wild salmon isn't available, especially here in the northwest. The only reasons a restaurant would serve farm raised salmon is because they are ignorant of the facts about the food choices they are making, they have no regard for the environment or your health, or they are greedy (it's a lot cheaper) at your expense.
