The label "wild caught" invites inquiry. It is most often applied to certain fish. Why not just say "wild". After all, if it were not caught it would not be in the store in the first place. On the other hand it could be that the fish is raised on a farm, then released into a part of the ocean which is netted off and then pulled in like any other wild fish - so is labeled "wild caught".
Also one can ask what would the difference be between "wild caught" and "caught wild" ? So, again, why not just call truly wild fish "wild" and eliminate the word "caught".

"Wild" might imply that the fish fillet is unmanageable in the kitchen, and who wants that in the middle of trying to get dinner on the table? More likely, the wording was needed in order to hit people over the head with the fact that the fish was not farm raised. Shoppers read very fast, and an impression has to be made in the wink of an eye.
Food descriptions are as carefully tested with audiences as the foods themselves. Wegman's now calls skim milk "fat free milk", probably because the public is so obsessed with fat free everything, and a certain percentage of shoppers had no idea what skim milk was.

I see your point. However, I suppose that "wild rice" should be relabeled "wild harvested wild rice" And "wild mushrooms" should be relabeled "wild plucked wild mushrooms". Who wants wild rice and wild mushrooms going nuts in the kitchen. As far as milk goes, Land-O-Lakes says "Fat Free Skim Milk", leaving no doubt.

Some good tasting white fleshed fishes are unmanageable for frying. They just fall apart. I gather that that's why pollock is so cheap.

There is actually a difference between wild fish and farm grown. There were lots of trout farms near home in North Carolina. You paid a couple of dollars to go fish there and had a pretty low maximum number you could catch. They made a little money on the public but their big business was allowing net harvesting by commercial fish suppliers. If that case the fish are often not called "caught" but harvested.
Hope that helps. At least that is my understanding.

I buy wild rice, eggs from free range chickens, organic free range chickens, grass fed antibiotic and hormone free beef, wild caught fish, organic vegetables and fruit. Meal time at my house is a hoot. If I'm not careful they all just run amuck.

Well, I am wondering how "free" free range chickens really are. If they are really free in the full sense of the word then they also should be called "wild caught" if they end up in a grocery store. :-) If they live within a pen out on the range then they should be called "almost wild caught" or perhaps "wild almost caught" or "almost wild almost free range caught".
