Where is the Omega 3 in salmon?!

Question: Where is the Omega 3 in salmon?

When I grill a skin-on salmon filet, I grill it skin-down, then turn it over, remove the skin, and then scrape off the brown fatty layer that lies between the skin and the meat. Am I removing all the Omega 3?

Answers:

eat the skin too as there are a lot of vitamins there also plus the good fish oil. Removing the skin is ok for looks but not for vitamins.

It's in the fat, which is marbled in the meat as well as in that layer you scrape off. The brown layer does nothing to the taste of the salmon, and the skin is quite good when broiled. If you want some extra omega-3 in your diet there are also taste-less fish oil supplements you can purchase at any drug store.

omega 3 and 6 are types of fat and likely contained both in skin and flesh in the case of Atlantic salmon it is in the marbling
