Even though it's flabby pale stuff compared to wild salmon, I'm afraid that salmon there looks much like most other farmed mild smoked salmon to me.

A friend of mine who keeps chickens says he can vary the taste of the eggs by varying the food. Fishmeal produces fishy tasting eggs. Feeding chickens on fishmeal also produces fishy tasting chickens.
I do not know what the chickens from mass produced fly larvae taste like, but I am sure BA will test it on us.

As a fellow chicken owner - 10 of the blighters - there’s nothing like super fresh eggs. CWS is totally correct - all about the diet, haven’t risked feeding ours with coffee grinds but they have ate baby rats!

The feed and breed of the chicken can also have a significant impact. Feeding corn meal, for example, makes the egg yolk a deeper yellow, and Burford Browns tend to lay very deeply yellow eggs.

It is threads such as this one that used to be the norm on the FT BAEC forum: not all threads necessarily need to be directly related to, a) aviation and, b) BA.
I’ve gained much useful information about eggs, and fascinating insight into the chicken-related pastimes of some of the posters. More threads such as this one please!
