Farmed vs. Wild? Is There Really Any Question?

In his New York Times article, A Seafood Snob Ponders the Future of Fish, Mark Bittman laments the bygone days of "fishermen unloading boxes of flounder at the funky Fulton Fish Market" and seems annoyed at the fact most most fish on the menus these days are farmed.
