Question: Theres also black stuff, i think it may be skin in there, are the bones good for you?

They can salmon steaks and the skin is wrapped in the salmon as well as the bones. Excellent, tasty food and the bones mash with a squeeze of your fingers or fork. I remove the skin (you don't need to) as a preference. Very healthy and recommended, high in Omega 3 fatty acids. .

Strange, I love tinned red sockeye salmon but I really do not care for fresh salmon.
Thank you, last year in Virginia visiting in August I bought a couple of tins of salmon, sans skin & bones. No flavour at all.
Happy New Year Report It

    • My grandfather loved those bones. Ate every ounce of it.
    You can eat the bones...they are very soft. I don't, however, and the skin is disgusting, don't you agree? I use a spoon to gently peel the nasty skin off, and I carefully remove the bones. I assume it is a way to keep the cost down for the consumer....? I would bet the bones are good for you, but I don't know for sure. meow
    Its there to prove that people are lazy to take them out! The black stuff might be skin, or blood..
    that is normal unless you buy the boneless and skinless and thats what i generally buy...but yes, the bones are healthy to eat but i usually pick out most of the black skin...some people though just eat it all and its okay to do so i just prefer the boneless skinless myself...ummm, thanks for the idea...think i will have salmon patties for supper.... :)
