Salmon grilled over hot coals... Delicious. I say, grilling and eating outdoors simply cannot be beat, eh wot?

[edit] Animal Crossing: City Folk

Ahh... A salmon? Yes, quite! Everyone knows that salmon swim upstream to spawn... Bid did you know they don't eat for the entirety of their journey? Indeed! Salmon must enjoy pushing themselves to the limit... I hereby dub them the pro athletes of the river!

[edit] Trivia

• Despite only being found in rivers in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, these fish can actually survive in saltwater conditions as well as freshwater.

[edit] Real Life

The Salmon species can be found inhabiting the waters of the Pacific Ocean as well as local rivers near northern areas such as Russia. These fish reproduce in freshwater streams in order to avoid pursuing predators without a tiff.

[edit] Appearance

The Salmon is entirely dark blue/purple with a bright pink underbelly, bearing an oddly hooked mouth to boot(no doubt intended to ease the effort needed to capture pesky prey). They have an almost aerodynamic build about their body, probably allowing them to whisk through open bodies of water at high speed.
