About Pink salmon
Pink salmon is a Pacific salmon commonly sold fresh, frozen, canned, or smoked. Its raw flesh is typically pale pink to orange-pink, with a relatively delicate texture and mild flavour; cooked flesh flakes readily. The name refers to a fish type, not a preparation or a guarantee of a particular fat content.
It is cooked as fillets or portions and is also widely preserved. Whole fish, boneless cuts, canned products, and smoked fish differ in edible parts and processing. Skin, bones, added liquid, and preservation method can all affect the character of the product sold as pink salmon.
