salmon
Pink seafood swimmer
Salmon are large fish prized for their pink flesh, known for swimming upstream from the ocean to spawn in freshwater rivers where they were born.
The fish gives its name to a pinkish-orange color: salmon walls, a salmon dress.
Smoked salmon appears on bagels; canned salmon in salads.
The plural is salmon or salmons.
