Skin on Fish

[Coffeepot03]

I've just realised I have been eating the skin on cooked salmon. I always, always remove the skin from chicken but never thought about fish. Probably a stupid question but can you eat all the fish including skin or do I have to take it off for it to be free. I never use oil.

Thanks

I would think that if SW wanted us to take the skin off fish they would say so, and as far as I know they don't. The skin on chicken is where most of the fat is; I don't think that is the case with fish.

Tbh I've never thought of this but as the OP has said, if we had to they'd say.

My old consultant said you have to remove it, but my new one says you don't! I eat the skin personally, because none of the books/recipes say to remove it (like they all do for chicken), and also because fish is a speed food so any oil that's in the skin won't be as bad as oil in chicken. Plus the oils in fish are very healthy.

Great thank you. I love the skin of fish, nearly the best part.
