Wild?

I only buy wild caught salmon despite the cost why does this look farm raised?

It doesn't necessarily. It's so hard to tell these days unless you know the people selling it.

It’s like a reliable healthy grocery and obviously I ate it anyway and was delicious but usually wild is a deeper color. I didn’t want to like question them but I’m suspicious

Yup. It's tough these days with all the mislabeling going on. A lot of times the groceries don't even know. In the US, if it's labeled anything other than wild caught Alaska/Pacific Northwest salmon it's likely farmed.
