WATCH FOR THESE LOGOS TO FURTHER IDENTIFY SPECIALTY ITEMS OFFERED IN OUR SEAFOOD PROGRAM The Wild Caught in the U.S.A. logo is used to identify species that are naturally wild caught, live on a wild diet in the waters of the United States, and are caught using long-line, trawling, purse-seining, or gillnetting methods. Species that are typically wild-caught include Lobster, oysters, shrimp, scallops, crab, salmon, clams, cod, halibut, sablefish, and rockfish. The Farm Raised in the U.S.A. logo is used to identify species that are raised on aquaculture farms throughout the United States. Generally this process starts in a hatchery and the seafood is later released into contained, quality environments. These fish are commonly fed grain diets. Channel catfish, trout, clams, salmon, and mussels are species typically farm-raised in the United States.
