Personally, I wouldn't serve any seafood that is not wild caught. While fish farms in the USA are ok.....most others do not have good sanitation. Take a look the next time you go to supermarket and you'll see most comes from southeast Asia and latin America.
Some of these fish farms are exposed to raw sewerage....shrimp, scallops, tilapia and catfish from these countries should be avoided IMO. When the water gets too filthy, they just dump in antibiotics to keep the parasites down. When they release the water from the pools, it pollutes the beaches for miles.
Google up "Filthy toxic shrimp farms" and see for yourself.
People sell them because the are CHEAP.....Chinese scallops sell for around $4 lb wholesale. We are paying $8.50 for wild caught sea scallops.
There is one exception......salmon are raised in nets in the open ocean and the water remains clean.
Sorry to gross you out
