RE:salmon
Its the cheek ofthe salmon.Very excellent. My grandpa was an old Greek.When he ate fish he ate it all.Cheeks a,eyes and brains.Believe it or not but there is red meat around the brain.Grandpa would makes us all sick when he had salmon.The cheeks are very good fried or baked.In Japan they are prized and very expensive.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

RE:salmon
A few years back I went halibut fishing and brought back 2 halibuts. I had the cheek meat to my self. Wow! that was some really good meat. Anyone try the collar meat? Just behind the gills (I think). Remember seeing some show on Food TV where they were eating the collar meat and claimed it was the best (or at least under utilized). I haven't tried, but it seems to work fine for crab bait.

RE:salmon
Collar meat smoked is great.Its very high in oil.Its also a key ingredient in fish stock.

What is the space in the rectangle called? I never use to save the bellies or this area. I do now and it is the best smoked salmon.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

RE:salmon
That's the collar. Best part of the fish! Even better when you have a liitle cheek to go with it.

RE:salmon
The collar is the bone/cartledge that is right there .The whole piece fins attached is the collar. Cook it bone and all. There is a oil sack right behind the brain of a salmon. That is where all those omega3 is at.Thats why when cleaning a salmon I try to leave that part intact.That area you have circled in the pic is the collar.

No, I meant the little cheek Bo was talking about.
But you cook the brain? To get the oil?

RE:salmon
When smoking or cooking fish be sure to leave on the collar. It is the chefs piece.... as is the cheek. When I was learning culinary arts I was taught that certain parts of the meat were called the chefs piece...Can't remember the french name, but it is the piece the chef gets when preparing food for guests. It is the most succulent part of the fish,poultry, or meat. The best part is always for the chef to test and taste. As for the bones, I always leave them in when cooking small pinks due to the fat that collects along the ribs would be lost if I totally filleted the fish. The pinks are so thin along the rib cage, by removing the ribs you are losing a tasty portion. You did a good job Curado...I heard from the "man" that you are quite the fisherman and are a fast learner. Keep up the good work.
Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.
