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.
This kills the salmon
I'm here for the lochs and cream cheese
Lox, gotta have the capers too
Isn't this just a rip from a webcomic?
Fish are food, not friends!
Worked pretty well for dracula on Sesame Street I guess.

ME: We have a color named after you
SALMON: Really? Is it silvery-blue like my scales?
ME: No, uh …
SALMON: Wait why is it pink?
ME: …
SALMON: WHY IS IT PINK?!?
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.
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.
And mercury right?
Mercury is more highly concentrated in higher-level organisms in a similar fashion, yes.
But mercury itself has nothing to do with coloring.
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.
