Salmon, chicken or turkey??

I love salmon, but I like it much better raw (like sashimi) or smoked. I prefer chicken, I guess (grilled chicken breast or dark meat).

It's all good & variety is good too, but from a strictly which has more protein for the calories...chicken has more than turkey, which has more than salmon.

Yes please! and don't skimp on the bacon!

salmon! chicken gets soooooo boring...

All of them?

All of them?

I agree with the pretty girl named Rita ^^^^^

Which do you guys prefer??

I love salmon I could literally eat it for lunch and dinner but the mercury content really puts me off. Chicken is a similar price to salmon here so I'm thinking about my main source of protein being turkey as it's the cheapest option and apparently the health benefits are great.

If mercury levels are what you are worried about, then stick to farmed salmon, the mercury levels in farmed are about 3X less than wild caught.

Except that farmed salmon are HORRIBLE for the environment and for wild salmon populations. The stocking density is usually similar to factory-farmed meat, and so require antibiotics on a large scale and the pollution is dumped straight into the ocean. Farmed salmon also has been found to have higher levels of PCBs and other toxins. Wild salmon is pretty universally considered the more sustainable choice.

Salmon. Especially sashimi. It's just delicious. And fish has omega-3s

My second choice would be turkey. I like the flavor. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite times of the year because of all of the turkey.

I get burned out on chicken so quickly. But, like for many others, it's the least expensive.

And specifically for salmon.

FARMED ATLANTIC SALMON
There are many environmental problems related to farming Atlantic salmon, which means most are ranked "Avoid." However, efforts to reduce some of these environmental impacts have been successful.

Consumer Note
The majority of salmon farmed today are Atlantic salmon. A small quantity of Pacific salmon - Chinook and coho - is also farmed. Salmon is known as sake when prepared for sushi.

Health Alert
Environmental Defense Fund has issued a health advisory for farmed salmon due to high levels of PCBs.

Summary
One of the biggest concerns is the amount of food required to raise farmed salmon. It generally takes three pounds of wild fish to grow one pound of farmed salmon. The environmental impact of salmon farming is still increasing as global production continues to rise.

Most salmon are farmed in open pens and cages in coastal waters. Waste from these farms is released directly into the ocean. Parasites and diseases from farmed salmon can spread to wild fish swimming near the farms and escaping farmed salmon can harm wild populations. As a result, most salmon farmed in ocean net pens get an "Avoid" ranking. However, some salmon farmers are making changes to improve their practices.

Look for wild-caught salmon, clearly labeled U.S.-farmed freshwater coho salmon or Verlasso® salmon. For now, "Avoid" most farmed Atlantic salmon.

Recipe Alternatives
Seafood Watch recommends wild-caught salmon from Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, as well as U.S. coho (silver) salmon farmed in inland tanks and Verlasso® salmon.

I can't eat Salmon as i'm allergic to seafood so I eat chicken most of the time. Turkey is more expensive then chicken where I live.

Chicken breast by far. Eat it almost everyday. I personally don't like the taste if salmon. I eat a mild fish called basa, it tastes great and is only 60 calories for a 100g filet. Turkey is just too dry for me to enjoy.
