wild-caught fish
Not farm-raised seafood
Wild-caught fish are fish harvested from their natural habitat—oceans, rivers, or lakes—rather than raised in aquaculture facilities.
The term distinguishes these fish from farm-raised alternatives: Wild-caught salmon has a different flavor profile than farmed.
Marketing often emphasizes wild-caught status to suggest superior taste or environmental responsibility, though sustainability depends on fishing practices and species.
