Salmon prices increase.... (Thanks Obama)

[kalm]

I knew you were going to post. You're not quite as militant in your salmon hate as before.

Quality halibut and tuna are also very similar to great steak.

I will grant you that salmon has a more "fishy" taste. Good observation.

It also strikes me as a similar comparison to game. When someone says "gamey" it usually means stronger flavor...which I like.

Salmon is also very high in fat (marbled like good steak)

And I highly recommend blow-torching Salmon

He should try NOT cooking it medium, and actually searing it to color. Oh...and NOT knocking shit over on the counter.

Cool idea otherwise.

[Grizalltheway]

They're not gamey, they're greasy.

No, they're talking about the flavor, Maynard.

Grease is tasty.

Yeah, the guy who said he could live on pizza and fries complaining about grease.

Salmon is very tasty for those who are truly fish lovers. True fish lovers love the taste of fish, like trout. Salmon is the Crown Prince of fish loved by fish lovers.

The other category of fish eaters are those who really don't care for the taste of fish, they like bottom fish like halibut, ling cod, Pacific cod, king crab, rock fish, and in fresh water walleye, perch and crappies.


I profess to be among the latter, not the former. And the distinctions are just as stratified as those who prefer dark over white meat and vice versa when ordering fried chicken..

I read your post as several types of fish which I consider good and chicken which I also consider good. The divide I see in fish, is when you start talking suckers, carp etc, which is a whole other category.

What gets me is that to me salmon just flat tastes bad. I've written before about how I've tried it a number of times. Each time I'm thinking OK maybe last time the people just didn't fix it right then I taste it and it's awful. Why somebody would pay ANYTHING to eat that is beyond me. I guess if you were starving and had to eat something OK. But to go out of your way and pay a high price when you can eat something else? I just don't get it.

And that's great. However, Mr. Science, you should know that sensory perception is unique. We all don't taste the same.

To you, your tastes, salmon is gross. That's fine. Don't eat it. But understand that to many more (billions more) salmon is delicious.

John, when you get a chance, try some truly fresh salmon, raw. Im guessing it will be different than what you've experienced.

John won't like it. It's not because he's a picky eater or difficult. His taste buds are different than yours or mine. I don't like okra...my father in law loves okra.

Salmon takes on a very different flavor when cooked. More so than other fish I think.

Beets and black licorice are the only things I don't like.

Have you tried beets without the licorice? That may be the problem.

Plenty of foods that I will take a pass on, but there are very few I genuinely dislike. To offend 93 and Cluck... scrapple is probably on the dislike list. I just don't get that one.

That does not matter. From a biological standpoint we all have variations in the way we taste things.

I don't like Red Cabbage or beets.

But those foods are SUPPOSED to have grease.

Indeed.

Speaking of which, does anyone have a nice Chianti they could suggest?

As to the scrapple...it has to be cooked properly. Too mushy = pass. Too crsipy = pass. Just right = delicious.

BTW, this spell check doesn't recognize scrapple.

On a positive note, Mrs. Cluck just cooked scrapple during the Snowmegeddon. Baked it on parchment paper. Brilliant!!!! Crispy on the outside and no sticking to the pan.

I don't recall ever having Chianti. What's it taste like? I tried port 3 or 4 years ago and I like it. Great for after a meal.

Don't worry. You won't be having any Chianti at Cluck's house either.

Not necessarily- you have to make sure it is marked "chianti classico" - which means it is actually from the Chianti region of Tuscany. There are a lot of knockoffs out there called "chianti" and some of them aren't all that good

I think the thing about the strong "fishy" taste vs. not having that kind of nails it. Also I agree that it's just a matter of taste.

Quality seafood including salmon doesn't really taste fishy.

If it tastes fishy you're eating sh!t Salmon



Also there are many types of Salmon (more than most people realize)
