Why is some cod pink?
Answers:
Pink color comes from eating shrimp.
Cod sometimes will eat smaller shrimp called ghost shrimp. Eating enough of these will turn them a pinkish color.
This is why also salmon are pink too.
They consume larger shrimp in greater amounts making them real pink and a fatty flesh too.
Because it's either salmon, trout or freshwater perch.
Well if its definitly cod its propably not cooked properly Or if it smells really bad it could be outta date
Razor burn?
What are you eating? Fresh quality cod should be very white. If it is getting a bit old it will turn greyish - but pink? Perhaps its radioactive.
When you get a pink tinge on any white fish it shows it is very fresh.The so called fresh sold in supermarkets can be over a week old.It is caught mid atlantic by big proccessing ships which chill it till its sold in the shops.Really fresh fish should smell of the sea and not have a strong fishy smell.
I have eaten a lot of cod and NEVER have I had pink cod - maybe someone has you confused, cod is most likely white or sometimes green as in 'green ling cod'.
