Why do you refuse to buy fish that has skin? I work a meat counter, and every single time someone asks me to skin their salmon they're black or indian (one time it was a russian grandma, only once). To clarify I am not complaining, it is no hassle to do, I just want to know the reasoning.

Also to clarify, you save no money by doing this. We weigh the fish before skinning.

weird i have the exact opposite experience its always white people ordering boneless and skinless fish and meat and the asian and black people that buy the whole fish

I have a few older asian ladies that come in and buy my whole shrimp, while almost nobody else does.

My white customers honestly tend to be less picky overall, but then I'll get oddballs that want stupid shit like picking all the bits of fat off a chicken breast.

there is this one black woman who used to come in every day at like an hour before close and get all the fish heads and trimmings from the whole day to the point where i just started saving them for her

Hi /pol/tard. I’m white and I don’t like skin on fish, either. Now that you’ve been BTFO, kindly fuck off back to your containment board.

Same reason why people buy catfish without bones. It's less of a hassle to prepare/eat. Or these people might want to make a salad or croquettes with the salmon without wanting to peel the skin off.

because if someone is cooking african or indian dishes the fish is more likely being used in a curry or stew or rice dish where you don't want flabby pieces of skin floating around unless it's in steaks

Interesting. I have no trouble at all eating salmon skin, scales and all, while bones in fish give me trouble.

Fried fish doesn't work with the skin on.

But I don't? That's literally the opposite of how things work. Is this a weird attempt at irony?

Shut up and give the customers what they want, wagie. They don't pay you to think.

No, this is just how things work at my store.

It's almost like everyone has preferences on the fucking skin and it's not a race thing.
