【又去target转了转，终于发现美国产的野生虾了，叫wild caught large raw shrimp white gulf，如获至宝，买了好几袋库存。】
Gulf 指的是在 Gulf of Mexico。
2010 年，Deepwater Horizon 在 Gulf of Mexico 海上钻井平台爆炸，大量原油泄入海水，严重污染水产品。
那之后的一段时间，有报道说很多虾没眼睛，很多鱼身上有溃疡。
已经过了14年了。不知道现在 Gulf of Mexico 里的水产品是不是已经干净了。

What does "color added" mean on a label for salmon at the grocery store?
“Color added” on a label for salmon and salmon products means that the salmon were given a feed which contains a pigment called astaxanthin. When the feed is digested, the astaxanthin is absorbed into the fish’s flesh giving the fillets or steaks a reddish or ‘salmon’ color. Astaxanthin is pigment occurring in nature that gives flamingos their pink coloration. It also turns cooked shrimp and crabs an orange-red color. In the wild, salmon get astaxanthin through their diets, which consist of plankton and small fish. Farmed salmon get astaxanthin in their feeds as an added dietary supplement, hence the use of the phrase “color added”.
Asthaxanthin provides color to both wild and farmed salmon flesh, but it is also an important nutrient for the salmon, and for humans.
