jhlurie today made reference to this thread, and between reading it when new and now, I read Alan Davidson report that farmed salmon have been fed paprika to enhance their color.

wouldn't that affect the taste? this sounds susficious.

tommy, don't bait me. I won't fall for that hook, line and sinker.

How timely this thread resurfaced... I just noticed "dyed salmon" at my local Stop&Shop, it was prepackaged and mentioned on the label - total turn-off.

Holy mackeral. Reely now, watch what you're seining, before the ofishal lox this thread.

I've haddock up to here with this thread.

I'd be wary of buying dyed salmon or other such treated fish. As they say, caviar emptor.

[jhlurie]

Geez. What kind of fluke would lead to the revivial of this thread? Tilapia a little while ago, only the better schooled of us fished for puns.

[sherribabee]

Intersting timing for this thread to resurface, as I saw some "color enhanced" salmon for the first time at the Food Emporium last night.

I had a conversation about dyed tuna with my fish guy. It seems that a lot of tuna is pumped full of CO2 which gives the jewel toned color.

Tuna and CO2

And when a less-then-reputable-fishmonger sells you poor quality tuna that has been ‘hopped up’ it leaches a pinkish scum as it defrosts.

[fifi]

I dunno... I am floundering around with the CO2 concept.

edit to add: I just read a little more closely... That is CO (carbon monoxide) not CO2 (carbon dioxide).

From the front page of this site I Smelt something was going on here so, even if you are hard of Herring Shark my words :

Like a Sturgeon for the very first time I have come to this Plaice with a Sole Porpoise.

Nam, pla, tank and serial no. I can't tell you. John Dory

Wahoo!

[Episure]

What no rejoinders?

pmji, i'm new here :). The product is called saku-imported frozen from the Phillipines and other SE Asian processors.

The color is due to a "natural smoke" color enhancer. It's some da-glo stuff. I've used it before, was not my choosing.

hth, danny
