Will I Die If I Eat This?

[BeeBoop]

I bought some salmon and noticed some funny gray stuff just under the the skin. I cooked it anyway and it just doesn't seem right. I tasted it and it didn't taste that great. Taste like the gray stuff you pick out from chicken breast. I'm referring to the gray stuff my fork is pointing too.

botulism - youre going to die.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Can I have your stuff?

 

[lxskllr]

The blob of snot? I always assumed it was fat, but I don't know.

 

[Skeeedunt]

Doesn't look too great either. Why don't you hop in the Pizza Delivery Suggestion thread and save yourself a horrible death?

The grey stuff is normal. Don't eat it if you don't want to.

I don't know man. I normally cook salmon 3 times a week. This is the first time I've noticed so much of this crap. Bought it from the fresh market section.

gay. you should be eating steak 3 times a week.

Okay, well I'm just going to scrape it off to the side and eat the rest. If I die and we win the group lotto that Vivi setup, who wants my shares?

I've had fish 5 times in my life, it never tastes good. I don't think you can base possibly dying because of how it tastes. If that was the case, I would have died 5 times already.

Okay, it tasted like soggy crap so i threw it away. I ate the skin though since that was the only thing that cooked well. Fifteen dollars down the drain.

Should've brought it back to the supermarket and got your money back. If it's not fresh it won't cook right.

looked like some kind of nasty fat.

Thanks! Good to know that it was safe to eat. Salmon still tasted like soggy crap though.

It's just subcutaneous fat. Salmon is a fatty fish anyway and the amount of fat under the skin varies through out the year depending on what it's eating.

I've never had grey stuff on my chicken.

I've never had feathers on my fish. Not sure of your point there really.

When I have to quote the OP, you fail.

...you ate the salmon skin?

I'll take your shares, and build a monument to your generosity.

I don't know what it's called but chicken breast has it.

 

[OverVolt]

I'm thinking its just on the tail end of the expiration. You'll live, but its probably not exactly the best salmon ever.

 

[phucheneh]

It does not.

Are you talking about the white lines they sometimes have? Some kind of connective tissue, AFAIK? Or maybe how the edges look when your defrost in the microwave?

Otherwise, I got nothin' here.

 

[OverVolt]

The "grey stuff in chicken" is that muck between the grain of the meat if you cook it wrong right?
