The Dangers of Canned Salmon

[ickaimp]

So Dad made a comment over Christmas, with a grin and a mock-shudder about never eating canned salmon.
Which puzzled me, because I had picked up a can a long with a can of corned beef, cause it was on sale and we know that I should remember to eat meat occasionally for a balanced diet, and the corned beef was pretty good.

... would live entirely off of sugars and grains if I could, really I would.

So today, figured I'd cook the salmon for dinner, and try it out.

Folks, this is why you should REALLY listen to the off handed comments your parents make.

The smell wasn't so bad, fish always kinda stinks, and I'm used to the skin being on from Japanese food, so that wasn't so bad.
But I draw the line at fins and chunks of vertebrae. And unidentifiable grey stuff.
*shudders*
Threw the whole thing out, emptied the trash can outside. Am burning stuff to get rid of the stink.

No dinner for me tonight, thank you very much. >_< Ew.

Don't worry, it's a natural part of the fish (I think it's fat).

mmm, salmon . . . :9~

Um... I don't think the grey stuff was fat. >_< Wrong texture.
Brains, possibly. Or lower intestine.

Ye Fates, it's been 4 hours, and the kitchen is now finally starting to stink of something other than stinking fish.
*blargh*
It smelled really rotten for a while

oh, I thought you meant the fat under the skin . . . mushy grey stuff . . . maybe the fish was sick. o.o;
(speaking of brains and intestines, too bad they're going to ban that from cows...yummy...)
