Norwegian salmon is one of the most famous and popular fish in the global fish market.

How to tell the real salmon?

In view of the fact that the common salmon in the market is counterfeit and disguised, we need to distinguish the real salmon from the following aspects.

The real salmon is light pink or orange, with solid and elastic meat and a certain oily texture. The dyed salmon is dark red or bright red, with soft meat, no oily texture and strong artificial dyeing color.
