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.
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.

Yeah but then we sound like we’re talking about a fatwa victim

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.

I haven’t ate fish or any meat since the Bush administration, lol.
What did George Bush do that turned you off eating fish?
He incorrectly believed that the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully.
But peace was never an option. 🔪🐟
