Fish is tasty and healthy. A good fish- better. It sounds banal, but you can’t escape the truth!
What do we know about pink salmon? Yes, there were such canned goods in jars when I was a child. Dry and not particularly tasty. Now in many supermarkets this fish is sold fresh and frozen.
Pink salmon is a member of the salmon family. The closest relatives are chum salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon and salmon itself. But unlike other types of red fish, pink salmon is less fatty and high in calories. The fish lives on average 2 years, so the average carcass size is about 70 cm. The maximum weight of the fish reaches 2 kg, but occasionally 5 kg specimens are also found.
Meat salmon fish is an allergenic product, so babies under 1 year of age should not be given pink salmon dishes. But it will only benefit toddlers from 3 years old and adults.
Pink salmon. How to choose the right carcass
Pink salmon is sold both cut and carcass. Dressed fish is more expensive, but you won't have to gut it. About 1/3 of the carcass goes to waste. But it is easier to determine its freshness using whole fish.
Choosing pink salmon:
1. Inspect the carcass carefully. It should be silver, without yellow or gray spots or streaks of fat.
2. Don't buy glazed fish. The ice shell can drag on 1/3 of the weight of the carcass. Pink salmon is important to you, not melt water.
3. If the carcass has a head, then inspect the gills. In good fish they are bright pink or red. Darkened, slimy or green gills are a sign of a spoiled product.
4. Frozen fish will always have dull eyes. Therefore, you should not rely on them.
5. Condition of the tail and fins. If they are whole, then the fish is fresh and has not been defrosted or re-frozen. It is better to avoid a carcass with broken fins.
6. The meat should be a uniform pink color. If the flesh is white, then the fish is frozen and the dish will turn out dry and tasteless.
7. Commercial fishing begins in September. Therefore, if in May they tell you that pink salmon is fresh, then they are blatantly lying to you.
