yfw that color actually comes from crustaceans they eat: 🤯
Might as well call it crustacean pink instead. That name sounds much better than a word with a silent L.
It doesn’t have to be silent
I pronounce it. Everyone keeps telling me it’s wrong.
I thought Salmon were actually gray on the inside? Is this a farm raised versus wild thing?
Gray?? 🤢 Even the farm raised should be a light pink before it’s cooked.

Whitish gray, like a lot of fish and bird meat. The pink comes from their natural diet, which they don’t have in captivity, so farms dye the meat artificially so it looks like wild-caught salmon

If the color of the meat turns you off, wait until you think about the fact that it’s a dead body

I haven’t ate fish or any meat since the Bush administration, lol.
What did George Bush do that turned you off eating fish?
