Ready to eat some Franken-fish?

There are many stories that have the moral "do not play with god's creations.  From the Prometheus myth, to Frankenstein, to Jurassic Park,  these trials never seem to end well.    "  A company that has been making genetically modified farmed salmon, or what I like to call Franken-fish, is about to get clearance from the FDA.  And what is more sketchy is that they will appear on supermarket shelves labeled as "farmed salmon."  I am sure the new fast growing fish tastes fine, but I can't help but to think of the famous Simpson's moment when Marge serves Mr. Burns a piece of Blinky, the 3 eyed fish.  My main concern is if a franken fish gets into the wild, and takes over the whole ecosystem.
