It was an order for takeout and noticed this after I got home . Did not taste terrible, but I truly felt the white membrane affected the texture of the fish. I’ve been a customer at this place before, but only for dine in

The salmon in your photo is from the belly part, which is fattier. It depends on personal preference, but some people specifically ask for this part, even pay extra for it.

That’s the fatty layer between the skin and the meat – having it intact is a good thing and means it’s a desirable (likely from the belly) cut of salmon

I am pretty sure that is just some fat from the cut being near the belly fat areas. It is considered acceptable to serve, some people even prefer it

Thx Reddit!

That silvery under-skin layer for me indicates that the one who skinned the fish was highly skilled. I also enjoy the texture of that layer, so I would consider this a jackpot myself.

It looks amazing tbh. 10/10 would consume

That’s the good stuff. The chef had some good knife skills to get cuts like that.

Looks excellent. Depends how the rice is and if the fish is cured right. But it’s scored and appears to have been done right.

Edit: I did request that they use pieces that had more marbling so I’m glad to hear they put out a good effort for my request

Yum. If this was sockeye then I would be salivating upon glance

Should’ve scored the silver skin to take care of the texture, all are acceptable except for bottom left piece they went too deep on the cut and have connective tissue left on there instead of just fatty silver skin.

This is insane. Love the cuts!

For me personally those fatty cuts of salmon are a bit much, but the quality of both the fish and the preparation looks good, and most people would probably devour that with a big smile on their face.

To shave off the pigmwnt from the skin requires a pretty good knife, but even more important, a decent knife skill. And for parts like belly, saving as much meat as possible is desirable

If you’d learned this is preferable before eating them, I wonder if you’d have liked them *more* than usual rather than having been put-off

The only acceptable answer is to make a big scene and send it back in exchange for Vegas rolls. /s
