Salmon Fillet Scale Off | Norway | Frozen | +/-1.2kg

Salmon scale off" refers to a salmon fillet that has had its scales removed. Scales are the small, thin, overlapping plates covering a fish's skin. When a salmon fillet is described as "scale off," it means that the fishmonger or processor has taken the time to remove these scales from the skin side of the fillet.

Removing scales is done for culinary convenience. The scales are relatively small but can be undesirable to some consumers when preparing or eating the fish. Cooking a salmon fillet without scales can make the preparation process smoother, and it also affects the texture of the skin when cooked, allowing it to become crispy if desired.
