Sockeye and Kokanee salmon’s exteriors both turn bright reddish pink when they are spawning. We can use that as an excuse if the fish ever turn sentient.
It’s pink like their outside during spawning season
Right before they die, and also when they are terrible to eat unless you’re a bear.
Because human saw bear eating it. What is the salmon’s excuse for knowing what it’s innards look like? Oh, did it “see a bear eating it too”, yeah right, . . . cannibal.
The reaction image makes me want to hug it.

Not like they wouldn’t eat you if given the chance

It was important to remove all information about wh o actually wrote this joke, and to add an image of a fish for those who don’t know what salmon means.
Removing the author credits isn’t cool, but I think the salmon looks horrified and it makes it funnier.
Anyone remember how scientists discovered whales can communicate using words and may have peronal names?
Well the spermwales called, and they have questions.
Come over here and I will show you. Don’t trip on the BBQ…
Thy flesh we consume! or in a more tame version: its because of the Salmonberry.
Which is called the salmonberry because….
things need a name; AND NO OTHER REASON!
Named after its discoverer: John Salmon
Specifically though, it was named after his insides, which are pink.
Which were pink because he liked to eat a lot of salmon, I assume.
Kokanee salmon has that red color at some point - if i recall its when they are swimming up stream for breeding and will die at the end.
You know what’s really good? Salmon fish eggs. If you offered me coke or ikura. I would take the fish eggs. Wash those babies up with some sake and slap em on a cucumber. Probably my favorite food.
Well I guess it’s pink… like their insides…
