In their native range pinks are known as one of the salmon _most_

I don't know how quickly they start turning bad, but that one looked
like a good meal...

Well, that one took a fly but the conventional wisdom among
the locals here is that pinks rarely, if ever, take a fly.

As for eating the pinks aren't considered all that great when
they're caught in Lake Superior, when they hit the streams
most folks won't touch them. I've been told once they grow the
hump on their back and enter the streams they're practically
inedible. Of course the folks around here are pretty spoiled
when it comes to fresh seafood from the Lake. Whitefish, herring,
lake trout etc. etc.
