Pink Salmon
Pink salmon has shiny silvery skin, large black oval spots on the back and tail. After returning to their spawning stream, the color change to pale grey on the back with yellowish-white belly. During their spawning migration, males develop a pronounced humped back, thus they are also called humpies. Adult fish range in size from 14 to 18 inches (36 to 46 cm) in length, average weight is approximately 4 pounds (1.8 kg). Pink salmon harvests are larger in odd numbered years and spawn in 2 year cycles. Hence, they are the smallest and most abundant of the salmon species. Pink salmon are distinguished by their light, rosy pink flesh color and small flake. Cooked pink salmon is very mild, tender and moist, and has a moderate to soft texture.

Sockeye salmon are blue tinged with silver in color when they are living in the ocean. Sockeye salmon have no spots on the tail, and they are distinguished by their small black speckles on its deep blue-green back and silver sides.

Sockeye can be anywhere from 24 to 34 inches (61 to 86 cm) in length and weigh from 5 to 15 pounds (2.3 to 6.8kg). Raw sockeye salmon has a deep red to orange red flesh colour. Cooked sockeye salmon is a richly textured and highly flavourful salmon. Sockeye salmon is very high in oil content, and it is recommended to bake, broil, grill and poach.

It has black spots on its tail and the upper half of its body. Chinook salmon is the largest and least abundant of the species.

When cooked, the prized Chinook salmon has a very firm texture, high oil content, succulent flesh and rich flavour.

Chum salmon have an ocean coloration of silvery blue green with some indistinct spotting in a darker shade, and a paler belly. Raw chum has a reddish-pink flesh colour.

Other changes that take place during migrating upstream include developing vertical watermarks, aka tiger stripes that can result in purple/red/green skin colouration.
