Organic Farm Raised Fish

I know the general rule is to stay away from farm raised fish, but does being natural and organic change that rule? Anyone familiar with either Earth Fair grocery stores or Foley Fish?

I see no one of authority answered, but I'm going to give my $0.02.

Organic may only mean they were fed organic feed- including soy. Fish usually do not eat grains. And how "natural" can they be if a fish that normally grows in an ocean, even a lake, now grows in a pool?

Thanks. I ended up buying east coast shrimp.
