However, be careful about the source of your fish. Farmed fish are indeed a risk in my opinion. Yes it is healthy in the form of fat type as you say.

Omega 6 fatty acids are not bad for you, they are *essential* fatty acids. The problem is when a person has far more omega 6 fatty acids than omega 3 fatty acids in their diet. Farmed fish, unlike red meat (even grass fed red meat) is still much lower in saturated fat. Chemicals in red meat, regardless of fat content or whether or not the meat is grass fed, has been associated with colon cancer. Fish/invertebrate seafood is still the healthiest meat there is.

They are very fast maturing fish so don't accumulate the toxins like tuna, for example. Just stay away from the farmed salmon.

Thanks for sending me link, I never knew about the drugs, or that much detail. Now I really am concerned, but since I found out about it briefly before I really cut back on the salmon. There are other fish I consume, like talapia or rainbow trout. The over all problem is that I really don't trust anyone anymore in food industry, everyone is so greedy that no body cares anymore.
