Salmon

The salmon specifying “outsides” in the second line implies it knew its insides were pink and that pink was a possibility. Should’ve said “like my scales.”

The inside counts! That salmon is so superficial, it's making me sick smh
- Why are you sick? Are you allergic to salmon?
  
  Is that even a thing, being allergic to a color?

Is the color named for the inside? I thought it was because of how they turn red, when they're on their way to mate (link for reference)

Considering most people only see the meat it makes sense. Most people have no idea what they fish itself looks like.

Sockeye salmon are reddish pink. That's always what I thought the association was.
- Sockeye aren't red most of their lives. Just when they return to fresh water on their endeavor to reproduce. ( die)
  I find it interesting that their heads turn a different color than their body.

It is one of this world's only mercies that fish have very tiny brains and cannot fathom the concept that literally every other animal loves eating them.
- Idunno, I feel like they certainly fathom it to some degree. They have an awful lot of funky little predator evasion techniques for an animal with no fathom.
  That whole schooling thing is a bunch of fish going, I know they like eating us, but I'd rather they eat YOU.
  I do agree that they have no conception of humanity, just that sometimes their friends get raptured away by something that makes a boat noise.

No, Salmon, calm down... It's not pink, it's salmon.... Because... We love you that's why
