Is it okay to eat the salmon skin?

>> No.14124200

Yes if its fried. With any fried skin. Chicken skin fried or cooked/smoked its great.

seasoned fried fish skin is a popular snack here in singapore/asia
think of it as pig crackling(fried pork skin) but the fish version
like the pork version of it its very addictive and nice

>>14124317
you have to descale fish, anon. There are certain kinds of fish where the scales can be eaten if deep fried but its not common.

If it's a wild salmon most of the bad shit is in the skin, but IIRC it's not a problem with atlantic salmon which I assume is the salmon you're talking about.

fish skins are delicious. it's a shame westerners don't seem to like them much

>> No.14125538

Absolutely, just make sure the scales are removed. Best way to do salmon is to sear it skin side down and baste it with hot butter on the top until it’s cooked to your liking, then serve it skin side up. You’ll get awesome, crispy skin that way.

what do you mean, its the best part

that sounds based. are you sure basting salmon will cook it all the way through? does it have to be a thinner piece?

It's safe to eat but it tastes like shit. I don't know why people like it. Crispy anyway, if the salmon is poached or baked in foil it's fine I guess.

I like fish. I cannot stand salmon skin though. Sea bass skin is OK I guess but it still overpowers the flavour of the meat.

All fish skin is edible. I didn't even learn that people usually took the skin off their fish to eat it until I was in my late teens, as I had always ate it skin on.

I wouldn't cook it skin side down in foil in the oven. if you're frying it in a pan do it skin side down and it will stick but then release once it has cooked enough so just wait for it to happen

steamed, with soy sauce, ginger, sliced tomato and green onions and drizzle of sesame oil after. Flesh will be delicate and delicious if fish is fresh. Make a few vertical cuts into side of fish so the sauce gets in.

Pomfrets have very tiny almost non existent scales so its not an issue, you could lightly scrape the skin with edge of blade or just rub with hands to get it of.

another way of cooking would be to just fry it plain and have soy sauce and chillis as a dip

fish has to be gutted and degilled, of course.

Not him but no it's pretty straightforward especially with round fish. There's two kinds of fish: flat, and round. I can scale and gut a fresh bream with a dessert spoon.

>>14129909
its not hard but it can be gross if you are squeamish about that kind of thing
with a sharp knife make a shallow cut from base of head to before the bottom fin
then pull out the gut stuff with your hand or scrape it out with the knife for small fishes. quick rinse under a tap and wa la
be careful not to go too deep and puncture the gall bladder, it wont kill you or anything but the flesh of the belly will become bitter
the gills are easy, just open the flap and yank/pluck them out with your hands (both sides)

the eggs if present can be cleaned, cooked and eaten

all fish is frozen to kill the bad shit inside of it before it even gets to the store you buy it from. unless you are literally catching it yourself and eating it on the spot (which is not a good idea) you are eating frozen fish
