Salmon is delicious and I totally get why bears get so hyped when they return to rivers to spawn.
“Fuck yeah, I’m up to my furry little ears in salmon snacks y’all!” - Bears
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.
“Graved”? What’s that?

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?
It’s honestly really really easy. Probably the easiest way to prepare salmon. In the evening you take raw salmon fillet, you put plenty of sea salt on it, a tiny bit of sugar and hefty amount of dill. Put in the fridge. In the morning, it’s done. Slice it into nice slices and eat as is or put on rye bread with some onion. I never bother with the sauce, seems superfluous and just hides the salty salmon taste.
I don’t know what sort of restaurant would have it. Outside of some specialty Swedish kitchen or Nordic or Norwegian one, could be in some sea food one as an appetizer I guess? But almost always the ready made ones or even ones at restaurant go light on the salt and rely on the sauce. It’s much better imo when you make it yourself.
Okay, I may actually try this. Thanks again!
yfw that color actually comes from crustaceans they eat: 🤯
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.
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.
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
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.
This kills the salmon
I’m here for the lochs and cream cheese
Lox, gotta have the capers too
Fish are food, not friends!
Isn’t this just a rip from a webcomic?
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.
