HI Torrey, All wild seafood tastes better than farmed seafood, because the fish or shellfish are being nourished by natural, as opposed to manmade, diets, get more 'exercise' and usually avoid the pollution risks incumbent in the caged settings or ponds in which farmed seafood is produced. Taste the difference between wild and farmed sea bass and you'll immediately understand my preference. This being said, not all farmed seafood is bad. I occasionally buy farmed organic salmon, again, not as good as wild, but more available and less expensive. To some degree, the seafood you chose depends on how you're going to cook it. If you intend to put shrimp in a casserole, for example, farmed seafood is acceptable if it comes from an environmentally responsible supplier. And since wild sea bass is expensive, it might be extravagant to use same for a barbecue recipe with a strong sauce. Here's a good link that further explains the issue:

Is there truly a difference in taste fro Sea Bass that's farmed from SB that's not farmed Sea Bass is a perfect food for Luau party catering, but I'm interested in why you differentiate between the two before I make any moves in ordering. Or even just knowing what to ask would help. Please don't see this as being critical because I'm not AT ALL, I'm only curious.

Sounds like the kind of restaurant that I would like to have in my neighborhood.
