Another Fish Question

[-Talbot-]

You've just cooked yourself a lovely piece of salmon...



Do you eat the skin?

[ladyalex]

Definitely not!

Of course I do. It's full of flavour. Strange question.


er...why?

[orangeangel]

no

[NoMercy]

Yes, if it's crispy.

Who on earth would favour smoked or tinned salmon over a pan fried fresh fillet of juicy salmon???

Wherein Greece last year there was an oriental restaurant in our all inclusive resort and one of their starters was crispy fried salmon skins. Delish.

Bbqd seabass skin is lovely too.

[ummmm]

If it's crispy I'll try it but in general no...

[Old_Geezer]

Why ? Because obviously no one (apart from those here who are clearly pulling your leg) is going to waste (one of) the best bit of the meal. A bit like asking when you have a sausage do you eat the meat ?

[Mosaic]

I don't eat the skin but OH does.
I don't eat cow's skin or pig's skin either. I have chicken skinless. Skin is an organ I do not find enticing to eat, like brain, pancreas and alimentary canal.

Old Geezer..what are you going on about?

Clearly opinion on skin eating is diveded. I think many who say 'no' haven't tried it crispy, I wouldn't eat it when it has been wrapped in tin foil and bunged in the oven.

No

[Baldric]

Yes.

[Mamyalynne]

Crispy skin on most foods is delicious - I would remove the bits of skin from tinned salmon as they are flabby and wet.

[DTCwordfan]

yes if properly cooked.

[Eve]

Yes, it's lovely!

I like tinned salmon too in a sandwich. Can't do smoked salmon though, too raw looking and slimy for me. I definitely prefer it cooked. Can't do sushi or rare meat either.

[Jackdaw33]

What on earth is meant by the term 'pan-fried'? If you don't put it in a pan you can't fry it. Fried should suffice.

[Mamyalynne]

Pan-fried is usually used to differentiate between shallow and deep frying.

[Jackdaw33]

So what type of receptacle is used for deep frying? I would say a pan.

[Tilly2]

I only eat wild Pacific or Atlantic salmon. I can't eat those pallid, white veined salmon fillets you see in the supermarkets.

[AlwaysConfused]

Skin is the best part of fish, chicken, duck and so on.

You've cooked yourself pork chops...Do you eat the fat?

[Canary42]

Yes, I eat the salmon skin.
