I grew up in Seattle and you can't really help learning about the salmon in the Northwest. I don't know why but spawning salmon look really ugly. These animals are on their last legs, looking only to procreate. It is amazing the lengths animals, including humans,will go to spawn their offspring. I can't understand why the road cuts across the stream, but I would guess the answer to the question "Why did the fish cross the road?" is to get upstream.
Anyway to answer Dham I think it is ugly, but that is not the salmon you buy at the market. Usually you buy ones that are caught in the ocean, not spawning salmon. I think I have seen salmon that have already done there business floating dead or half dead downstream and they are bright orange or red, kinda freaky.
