Question for Hamachi Lovers

I'm a frequent sushi eater and I came across a weird piece lately and told it was Hamachi. Has anyone seen Hamachi that looks a speckled pink and white rather than the typical white with maybe part of a bloodline?

Hard to say without a picture. However, I have always thought of hamachi as having a pink hue particularly the older the fish gets as it transitions into buri. Variation in color is not unusual as I’m sure you already know.
