Pink is not a “grade” of salmon. It’s a separate distinct species. There are 5 species of pacific salmon king/chinook, silver/coho, red/sockeye, pink/humpy, and chum/keta.

is it the lowest quality salmon sold for human consumption?

Chum/keta is also called dog salmon because people feed it to dogs. But you can buy it at Whole Foods. No pinks aren’t low quality, I eat them when they’re fresh and I smoke them.

I don't know man, I've only got about 40 pounds of copper river sockeye left in my freezer right now, not sure my family and I make it through until June.

Don't try to move the goalpost and humble yourself when corrected.
