Yes, it's not JUST the the cleanliness of the surroundings, but
also their relative merits as food--both from the taste/texture
standpoint and form a health standpoint. I have two comments
about two fish based on personal experience: catfish and salmon.
My daughter and I really enjoyed catfish. Then it started being
"flabby" and flavorless. She stopped liking it. The salmon also
started being mushy and flavorless. Only after that happened did
I realize it was because the norm had become farm-raised fish.
