Thank you again. Very educating.

I found this http://fooduniversity.com/foodu/seafood_c/resources/ocean%20fin/Cold%20Water/Swordfish/swordfish.htm which seems to indicate a species of non-kosher fish with pink-orange color, but the size is completely different (no clue about texture of flavor).

You are mixing up two separate issues:
1) regarding salmon all national hechsherim including the OU, OK  and Kof-k any many others rely on the color for fresh or cold smoked (no bishul) products.
2) regarding tuna fish - the OU is the only hechsher to certify it without Mashgiach timidi (except for OU-p products).

Who is mixing those up?

[sb613]

Never used Kirkland salmon as it is sold without סימנים and doesn't have a משגיח תמידי at packaging.

I don't think OK or Kof-K allow such things with fish.

Eta maybe it's just a packaging error

I clarified with rabbi Elefant that it is in fact a packaging error at one of their plants and it remains certified

the Omaha Steaks company delivers that? That's a good meat (Rubashkin/Iowa/AgriStar). What cut is that? And which link do you use to order?

Pashtus it is good because the ou would have a good system.
Maybe call.

The stickers/labels are under the plastic and inside, touching the meat. Correct? Another company can't do that. And, Aron's has a limited number of labels under guarded supervision.
