| − | The line-caught variety is especially prized and expensive. Much like flamingos, wild salmon gain their pink or red color from the krill (small [[Cookbook:Shrimp|shrimp]]-like animals) that they eat. Color differences indicate food source differences. Farm-raised salmon are artificially colored by feeding them a dye that tends to remain in flesh. The dye has been shown to remain in humans, including the retina, which can be damaging to eyesight. Farm-raised salmon taste somewhat like [[Cookbook:Corn|corn]], likely due to the feed being used. Farm-raised salmon can be recognized by the wider [[Cookbook:Fat|fat]]-filled or goo-filled gaps between the flakes of meat.
