Non-pink / brown part of salmon; ok to eat?
What is that brown stuff under the skin on salmon? Should I eat it or scrape it off?
What specifically put you off? The fact that their is brown stuff under the skin? Or the fact that it is connective tissue? or something else?Cairidh wrote:That is disgusting. That has so put me off eating fish, not that I was going to. But you know, I wanted to...I don't now!
Just curious.
When I see a piece of salmon (raw or cooked) it doesn't seem at potentially gross as a piece of beef where you can see bone and fat. for some reason the bone and fat makes it look more like what it is (a chunk of animal insides).

nonpink salmon parts ok to eat?
i bought some frozen wild salmon from the health food store. i read in the old forum that frozen fish is ok if you're not too acne prone. it has some brownish parts on it and silver 'skin'. i know that plenty of ppl eat these parts. i was wondering if there are any objections from the wai diet (for general health and weightloss purposes)?

I have four questions:
A) Where can I find the nutritional contents of the brown skin? Does it contain enzyme inhibitors?
B) And one more thing, I think I must have ate a few salmon scales accidentally as my fillet came with the skin on. Is it harmful? What will happen? Any nutritional values in fish scales? Do they contain enzyme inhibitors too?
C) What about salmon bones? Sometimes I think I might have ingested a tiny bone without knowing. Does the salmon bone has any nutritional value and enzyme inhibitor?
D) The salmon fillets I had the past two days were very slippery. Does it mean they were not fresh?
