Salmon is delicious and I totally get why bears get so hyped when they return to rivers to spawn.

Bears know nothing, they haven't even tasted it in the ultimate form, graved. Smoked is good too but those silly sods haven't done that either. Pfft.

What's worse, there is a decent chance at least one bear has, but there was no way for him to convince any other bear. All the right circumstances had to line up perfectly for that random campsite he ate at to have that specific meal be interrupted. And bear language doesn't have the nuance to convey just how much better it was than raw.

If you ever get the chance to test graved salmon then I highly recommend it

What am I saying, "if you ever get the chance", it's so piss easy to make that I should've have just said "you should make it"

Thank you for the info, but I burn cereal. What type of restaurant would make this?

Might as well call it crustacean pink instead. That name sounds much better than a word with a silent L.

Carotenoids are produced by algae, plants and certain fungi.

Feeding fish higher-level animals in the food web (like crustaceans or fish that predate on crustaceans) concentrates the carotenoids and brings out more and more color in the fish, specifically red.

Mercury is more highly concentrated in higher-level organisms in a similar fashion, yes.

But mercury itself has nothing to do with coloring.

This is also the source of a flamingo's colour. The debate if salmon are fishy flamingos or flamingos are feathery salmon has yet to be settled.

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.

starman2112 12 points 3 years ago

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

Just to add to this, the artificial colour is added to the fish's diet. They also adjust the colour depending on the market. For example, apparently Japan prefers a bright pink colour, while Italy and France prefer a less bright pink colour.

Farm-raised salmon are usually pink. Wild caught salmon are usually bright red.

SALMON: Really? Is it silvery-blue like my scales?

ME: No, uh …

SALMON: Wait why is it pink?

ME: …

So, don't people generally know that Salmon is pink in color? Well, pinkish-orange anyway. My question is - what happens if you're a girl and.....you don't LIKE THE COLOR PINK!! (Sorry I'll give you a moment to recover from having your mind blown). I'm male and I hate the color pink but not because it's the color of every toy ever made for girls - it's just a color that makes me think of Pepto Bismal. I don't see the attraction.
