 They're good eating if you bleed, fillet, skin and remove the red meat (blood) and beer batter beats tailor or herring imo.

Agreed, lets put it too bed

yeah 100% agree , salmon are a decent enough fish to chew on , if you prepare them properly.

If you dont bleed them properly or dont trim them up correctly or keep them fresh on ice etc etc , them

your wasting your time.

There are lots and lots of ways to prep them , including making great fish cakes , hot smoked after soaking in a brine,

fish mornays , and as we found out last year , very fresh salmon cut into nugget size chunks, rolled in seasoned flour  and then deep fryed in very hot

oil in a cast iron camp oven , just magic.

And yes I do possess taste buds , we enjoy reds or rubys from up north , dhus down south , so we eat quality as well , but fresh salmon on a

south coast beach , cooked on the day caught is just another different but tasty feed.

 I don't mind the taste on salmon, as long as it's bled properly and cooked right it's decent enough. Yep its a northcraft cant remember what one though
