The farm raised Salmon from our local chain supermarket in NC are dyed and
it is noted on the sale price card that the color is artificial. However the
wild caught Alaskan Salmon just next to it is a much dark color and is not
noted as colored artificially. Though it may be nearly twice the price per
lb it sure is tastier!

Apparantly the colour of salmon is very dependent on their diet. I've heard
they feed farmed salmon shrimp shells to give them a pinkish colour instead
of the pale white which they get from eating pellets. I've never heard of
dye being used.
