[quote=Anonymous][quote] Farmed salmon, including Costo's the last time I looked, has food coloring to make it look "salmon color." Without it, it's grey.[/quote] The color isn't applied straight to the fish. It's added to their food. Salmon eat something that has a lot of caratene in it (krill, I think, I'm not sure) that naturally turns their flesh pink/orange. When they're farmed, they eat something else, but a carotene additive is added to their feed to give them that color.
