How can you say the quality sux for farmed shrimp but not farmed salmon?
There is some great farmed salmon out there from a variety of places: Norway, Scotland, The Faroes, Canada, Chile. You just have to know who the producer is, and make sure you don't get the over-sized ones. It's hard to beat wild, but a lot of the farmed is good if procured right.
On the other hand, one can generalize that farmed shrimp, which are predominantly farmed inland in ponds, away from their natural habitat, taste way-different than their wild counterparts. Of course there are a huge variety of shrimps and prawns in the world, but you can pretty much generalize that a wild shrimp is gonna taste better. Farmed shrimp are really prone to earthy and musty off-flavors, as well as having a flesh texture difference.
Funny also how all of the "wild" game served in the US and European restaurants is also farm-raised.

Are you saying then that Puerto Montt is the exception to the rule?

See what they really do.
Like adding dies to the fish meal to make everything nice and pink? Like releasing concentrated fish crap into the environment? Like feeding them antibiotics because otherwise they'd contract deadly diseases from the overcrowded conditions?
