Target announced in a press release today that they have eliminated all farm-raised salmon from their owned brands, replacing it with wild-caught Alaskan salmon instead. All house brands have changed over, and Target sushi will be changed over to wild salmon by the end of 2010. Target says they're "taking this important step to ensure that its salmon offerings are sourced in a sustainable way that helps to preserve abundance, species health and doesn't harm local habitats." Yes, people BUY SUSHI FROM TARGET, which better live up to its promise: In 2005 the Times tested the "wild salmon" at eight area stores, and found that six out of eight were actually farm raised!
