Hey, salmon lovers!

Why mess with perfection?
Sashimi raw is the way to go.

Sashimi is fine but cooked salmon is way more flavorful and succulent than raw.

I love it both ways. Great sashimi is wonderful. Found another pretty good sushi place this week that delivers. Yum. They make a really great fried rice for MFR too, who does not care for sushi.

Why do people have no qualms about eating raw fish but balk at eating raw red meat.

I’m telling u, tartare is the best.

Love that too, when I can get it at a place I trust.

The flavor of raw meat can be described as delicate, if one wanted to be charitable. You have to cook it if you want to start using better adjectives.

There was a story posted here recently about some small town in Wisconsin that had a ridiculous holiday custom of eating a raw ground beef dish which they called some weird sounding name. It was a giggly story about stupid people doing stupid things. But the recipe was steak tartar, which I assume the journalist did not know.

Or Cannibal Sandwiches? Don't ask me how I know that. Well, OK, ask. We went to some company picnic or something for the place where my dad worked and they had "Cannibal Sandwiches". I tried one bite. Didn't care for it.

I do like sashimi on rare occasion. Lately I have avoided it, and probably will for the foreseeable future.

All animal protein (except sashimi on rare occasion) must be cooked for me.

One fav way we cook salmon is to sandwich two fillets with skin on; put a little salt, pepper, slived shallots, lemon slices, and white wine between them; tie with roasting string; and bake.

Sandwiching keeps it very moist.

MS likes her salmon cooked through, I like mine fleshy and a wee bit rare.
