For non-farmed fish in the UK, look for wild-caught options like mackerel, sardines, herring, hake, coley, and sustainable cod or haddock, often certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), with suppliers like Leap Wild Fish, Eversfield Organic, and The Fish Society offering choices like wild salmon, Dover sole, and shellfish, ensuring healthier choices with less fat and contaminants than many farmed varieties.

For fish, it's scarcity and regulation; for the game, it's market manipulation and high production values.
Salmon. There is no doubt that salmon is the most popular and best-tasting fish on this list. It is also a healthy fish. There is a discussion about whether wild or farmed salmon is the better choice.
