Ppl: Uh um, well…
Salmon: How did you know pink was my favorite color!
ppl: Uh, what?
Salmon: Yeah! All the prettiest flowers are pink! I also like the sense of calm the color instills, the feminine yet loud conveyance, the fact that it’s the color of my birth stone…
ppl: oh, well, that’s pretty cool
Salmon: And the fact that it reminds me of the blood of my enemies, and awakens my chaotic and violent nature upon seeing it!
Pink like your favourite food!
The salmon specifying “outsides” in the second line implies it knew its insides were pink and that pink was a possibility. Should’ve said “like my scales.”
because of their…insides?
The salmon doesn’t know that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One of the differences between wild and farmed salmon is their color. Wild salmon gets its pink color from the natural astaxanthin found in their diet, while farmed salmon is fed synthetic astaxanthin or dyes to give it a similar color.
Wild salmon has a more vibrant color compared to farmed salmon, which can appear pale or dull.
Am I blind, or in that entire article discussing the color of salmon meat does it not show a photo comparison?
Often times they actually dye farmed salmon meat so consumers will not freak out over the grey colored salmon meat.
?
Farmed salmon (without astaxanthin or dye added) isn’t very pink was their point I think?
Well, that’s also a sign of poor nutrition in salmon.
The inside counts! That salmon is so superficial, it’s making me sick smh
Why are you sick? Are you allergic to salmon?
Is that even a thing, being allergic to a color?
I know some people from the 1800’s who were allergic to a certain colour.
Granted, they weren’t allergic, they were just counts. But ya know
Relevant username?
Is the color named for the inside? I thought it was because of how they turn red, when they’re on their way to mate (link for reference)
Sockeye salmon are reddish pink. That’s always what I thought the association was.
Sockeye aren’t red most of their lives. Just when they return to fresh water on their endeavor to reproduce. ( die)
I find it interesting that their heads turn a different color than their body.
No, Salmon, calm down… It’s not pink, it’s salmon… Because… We love you that’s why
To honor your inner beauty
Delicious, savory inner beauty…
Serve that beauty up on a cedar plank and damn…
Considering most people only see the meat it makes sense. Most people have no idea what they fish itself looks like.
