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

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.

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. 🔪🐟

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