okay random question: when you order salmon at a western restaurant it's always served skinless. why? properly cooked salmon skin is so delicious
Conversation
salmon skin one of the top-tier skins imo, alongside chicken and duck

Hmm… I always remove the skin before cooking it at home. Or cook it with skin and then discard the skin. You’re saying I should try the skin?

cook it until the skin is crispy, yes. it's very good

Correct. I wonder how much of this is driven by poached salmon being super easy for a restaurant to prepare and sell. Maybe a bit of a cultural hangover from nouvelle cuisine also (amazing how much of that stuck really)
