a number of fish mongers here in Chicago will carry skate on a regular basis. Saute in a little butter, w/lemon juice & a toss of capers, or marinate with Asian flavors & cook, both easy & delicious.

I've yet to try cobia.

I personally find farm raised Atlantic salmon to be very mild in flavor and not what I seek taste wise, so I don't buy it.
Let me encourage you to try farm-raised steelhead. It's very tasty.

There are a few issues I have with farmed fish

1) Fish like farmed salmon require feed. This is generally fish and fish is sourced worldwide to be converted into pellets. No idea about the impact on these stocks.

2) Disease among farmed fish and possibly creating a contagion that affects wild, native fish (the Norwegians have destroyed their own country). Some enlightened/self-interested fish farmers are moving to inland close containment systems and there is talk of farming in ships (all those bulk carriers and other ships surplus to current requirements).

Let's hope it's Tilapia and they succeed in wiping them out.

We eat a fair amount of farmed seafood. I can't imagine that there's a major impact from farmed catfish, unless it's the concentrated effluent. Likewise clam farming is done close by and I don't see a negative.
