Favorite part of Salmon to eat??
« on: August 08, 2023, 09:47:53 AM »

Just cooked up a BBQ full of coho salmon to vacuum seal and freeze for my dog. ( I dont eat salmon)  And everytime I cook it I notice the tail section is by far the most moist and tender area.  The front half with the bones seems to be less desirable.  Just curious what others thoughts are since I can't judge since I don't eat salmon..

Curious to know why you dont eat salmon?
I personally like the tail portion as it does not have any bones lol, but the rest of the fish if deboned tastes all good, I also like the tummy portion, it just tastes a bit different. My parents like salmon head

excluding stuff like the skin and head, which I haven't tried, I like all the standard meat portions. Chefs say the section from the dorsal fin to the gills and down to the lateral line is the best - possibly because it it is the thickest or perhaps also where most of the fats are. However I find the tail section equally tasty.

Belly meat is the fattiest.

The tradition of the heads comes from the idea of using every part of the fish, which is admirable.  As did shark fin soup. Unfortunately, with the soup, it somehow morphed into the travesty of shark "finning" that we see today.

Why quiz members of the sport fishing community about what areas of a salmon that they prefer to eat? What is the preference of your inbred mutt.

Maybe you should re read the origianl post.   I don't eat salmon and I was wondering if people had a preference?  Nothing better to do in your miserable life than make a stupid comment...  forum name bj23, LOL maybe you will be able to give another tonight and tomorrow you can change your name to bj24

I thought the info about the dogs was unusual  but otherwise it was an honest question.
