SALMON
Pink and chum varieties provide a great source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is also a great protein source, rich in Vitamin D, B3 (niacin), and B12. Salmon with bones included (example canned pink salmon) is also a great source of calcium.

Wild caught Sardines are even a better choice. Smaller, younger fish constitutes less contamination.
Stay away from any farmed fish, salmon is highly farmed. They feed farmed fish soy & in some countries left over beef. Neither is a natural diet for fish. Also, antibiotics are regularly fed to the fish in crowded farm pens.

For those unfamiliar with salmon types – Pinks and Chum are never farmed.

I also read that some farmed fish are fed these protein meals that could include dead cats and dogs!

Would not doubt that at all in Asian countries.
