With so much top-quality farmed salmon in the market, we got to wondering which country produces the best farmed salmon. So we reached out to the folks who are on the front lines of buying and selling salmon: retail and foodservice buyers.

From this list of farmed salmon producing countries -- Norway, Scotland, Faroe Islands, Ireland, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Tasmania, United States and Australia -- we asked a select group of elite buyers to tell us their opinions on the best farmed salmon in the world.
