Red Fish, Blue Fish…what’s up with all the different colors of fish flesh?

October 23, 2018 By JD Leave a Comment

Fish flesh comes in all sorts of interesting colors. Just look at this picture I took after filleting a day’s catch off the Oregon coast.

The crazy blue green of the lingcod…beautiful orange of Chinook salmon and whiteish meat of black rockfish.

Ever wonder what makes a fish’s flesh the color that it is?
