Colorado
is home to more than 50 aquaculture facilities or “fish farms” where fish are
raised for food and to stock Colorado waters. Many chefs prefer farmed fish
because of their mild flavor, thick fillets and flaky texture. Look for
Colorado fish such as striped bass, tilapia and trout at your local grocery
store or at restaurants across the state.
