Salmon is supposed to be really good for you, so I decided I'd try it and see if I liked it. Went to the grocery store and bought some, got it home and opened the package, and when I flipped it over, it had skin on the bottom side. I've never bought a piece of fish that had skin on it before. Are you supposed to eat salmon skin? I'm not quite sure I like the idea of it. I've made other kinds of fish before, tilapia, haddock, things like that, and just assumed salmon would be similar. Is there an easy way to get the skin off besides cutting it and hacking the fish to pieces in the process? If it can come either with skin or without, is there a way to tell before you buy it? The packaging didn't say anything about skin on it.
