in my local Morrisons, they sell the whole salmon or packages they are filleted with the head and tail
Filleting is taking the fish off the bone and removing the head and tail. So you get one slice of fish from each side ie 2 fillets per fish.
As long as all the sea lice have been removed, although to be honest, you probably wouldn't notice some if you ate them.
Is that when they take the head and eyes off? I just want some nice fillet pieces. Don’t like the tail and eyes etc
You'll find it in the fridges, no fishmongers there.

Nothing fishy about this deal. Off i go to plaice an order. Cod to get it.
These used to be £2.65 then they increased the price just so they could put a sticker saying they are now £2.95!
Price matching with Aldi & Lidl for same 240g pack
I bagged x8 at 34p each on yellow label. Will have to try and hunt more like that.
Been buying These monthly for last 6 months. At the beginning I used to get the chunky pieces but last two months has been getting the flat pieces and you hardly get any fish when flat. (obv I don’t know what to call the different cuts!

No scalw
Does Tesco skin-on cod still have the scales on? If anyone can advise: where can I buy supermarket-priced fish with the skin-on that's been cleaned properly (i.e. no guts or scales), esp' salmon or cod, so I can cook it directly + crisp-up the skin without having to de-scale first? Ta.
Morrisons Kingswinford asked if we’d like it filleted or not, so first choice before falling in Aldi for 10p kg less 😃
Anyone know when this offer ends?
Glad it's not just me then

Don't buy it then!
I agree. My comment was calling-out increasingly common misleading advertising - bones/skin/scales are to removed before fish portions can honestly be called "fillet"
usually the sockeye has a red hue to it, and says "Alaskan red" on it, im guessing its sockeye from somewhere else(?) or it did not eat many krill as it looks very pink to me... just found out you can have pacific sockeye so im guessing that is what it is.....
the bones in tinned salmon are an excellent source of calcum (strong)
Deluxe 8 Dry Cured British Back Bacon Rashers 240g £1.49 Was £1.99. I’d be interested in this British bacon, but only available In Scotland & Wales Stores Only


Salmon: Tasty Fish With a Simple Preparation
Salmon is one of the most commonly eaten seafood in the UK, it’s often served in restaurants or as a party food, but can be cooked quickly and simply at home. From pasta dishes to tarts and oriental-style stir fries, salmon can add a touch of luxury to a mid-week meal. It’s also an excellent way of getting a good range of vitamins and essential fatty acids, like omega-3, into your diet.
Easy to Prepare and Nutritious
Since prehistoric times humans have gained nutrients from seafood. Fish were farmed in lakes by ancient Roman, Chinese and Assyrian peoples, and the name Salmon is from the Latin, Salire, which means to leap. It’s a large fish that can reach up to 26kg in weight, depending on the species. Naturally found in fresh water and large oceans like the Pacific and the Atlantic, salmon are also farmed in many parts of the modern world, including the west coast of Scotland. Salmon was first introduced to the UK as a delicacy in the 1800s, it was brought here by European immigrants who smoked the fish to preserve it.
Popular Types of Salmon in the UK
Once you know more about the various types of Salmon available, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect when cooking or eating the fish.
Coho – Coho salmon is available from many different retailers and is perfect for keeping in the freezer until you’re ready to use it. In general, it’s best to buy fresh Coho from mid-July onwards, because they bulk up more as the season progresses.
Pink – Probably the mildest tasting salmon and quite a fragile meat, the Pink salmon is best eaten or preserved the day it is caught. This type of fish doesn’t age well and is rarely frozen, as it breaks apart too easily. That’s why you’ll usually find Pink salmon in tins. It’s the perfect choice for making salmon cakes.
Keta – Sometimes called Chum, Keta salmon is often used in smoking as it has a very low-fat content compared to the other varieties. The roe of this salmon is also extremely popular.
Sockeye – A fish that’s usually deep red in colour, there are also greyer varieties from cooler waters that taste great. Sockeye salmon bulk up for long river journeys, so they contain lots of fat and a deep, rich flavour.
Which Parts of a Salmon to Use
Depending on the recipe you have in mind, some parts of a salmon are better than others. Here are some ideas for choosing the best meat:
The tail – Generally a cheap cut of fish, the tail is packed with muscle and can be slightly tough. However, if you’ll be tenderising it through chopping or marinating, then the tail will still be an excellent choice.
The belly – The oiliest part of the salmon, the belly is ideal for recipes that use braising.
Fillet or loin – Cut from the side of a salmon, fillets are considered the prime portion of fish meat. They are lean and tasty but need very little cooking otherwise they can dry out. Pan frying is best, as this technique takes just a few minutes.
Collaror second cut – The area around the back of the head and fins, the collar is another cheaper cut which lends itself well to roasting or cooking in dish like a pasta bake.
What Quantity is Needed and How to Store the Salmon?
If you get a good whole salmon offer, work out single portion sizes based on 110 g for each starter and 170 g for each main course. Before the fish is cooked or processed, keep it in a covered container in the fridge. Make sure that the cold chain is not interrupted from the store to your home.
5 Indicators to Select the Best Fresh Whole Salmon
The way you buy salmon should depend on how you plan to prepare or cook it. If you buy fresh, you can always ask the seller how old the fish is, but there are other indicators:
Smell – It may seem odd but fresh portions of fish should not smell fishy, they should smell of the sea. If you’re unsure of what that means, think of a salty ocean breeze.
Fins – These should still have definition and appear perky. Split or damaged fins could indicate the fish has been roughly handled in transit, whilst dry and brittle fins suggest the fish is getting old.
Skin – In a fresh salmon, the scales look firm, strong and shiny. There should be a metallic finish and they should be wet, instead of dry and flaky.
Gills – The salmon’s gills should be a vibrant red or pink in colour, but as the fish begins to go past it’s best they will darken to brown. Also, they should feel cool and clean to the touch, rather than slimy.
Eyes – Eyes that have red spots, are cloudy or sunken into the head, should be avoided. Bright clear eyes are a great indicator of freshness.
2 Indicators to Select the Best Pre-filleted Salmon
Even if you buy fillets, there are ways you can spot the freshest pieces:
Check for water and breaks – Cracks and white lines running through the fillets indicate rough treatment, whilst pooled water suggests an older piece that is losing moisture.
A consistent colour – Salmon is considered a darker fish, so the flesh should be colourful. Check for a glossy, wet surface, rather than a dry one as that could indicate it has been stored improperly.
Raw Salmon Dishes
Salmon can be eaten raw in a range of recipes, just make sure you buy fresh for the best taste. Here are three ways to serve raw salmon:
Sashimi – A dish from Japan that is made from very fresh raw fish, Sashimi is often compared to Sushi, but it is not served with rice. Instead, the fish is accompanied by soy sauce, wasabi, pickled radishes and ginger as an appetiser.
Pokē – Traditionally a Hawaiian dish made with tuna, pokē is a raw fish salad usually served as a starter. The recipe also works perfectly with salmon, just chop the fish, then add spring onions, garlic, soy sauce and sesame seeds. Blend, add salt, then chill before serving with oat cakes or crackers.
Ceviche – A common dish on the menus of many fine dining restaurants in the UK, Ceviche originated along the seaboard of Latin America. It involves adding citrus juices to chopped salmon in order to cure it. Fans of the dish say it really brings out the moreish texture of quality raw salmon.
Preparing Salmon Before Cooking
Most people buy individual fillets of salmon from the supermarket and these require very little preparation. Often labelled as Salmon steaks, they are great for grilling or roasting in the oven. If you buy a larger cut of salmon it may come with the skin on. This is easy to remove, but is completely edible and can be left on if you’d like a crispy finish.
Salmon in a tin comes with soft bones that can be eaten, but fillets that are sold with bones will need some preparation:
Run your hand along the fish to locate pin-bones.
Use a pair of fish boning pliers to grab the tips and pull them out.
Remove any leftover bones from the fish.
How to Cook Salmon
There are many different ways to cook salmon, here are five of the most common methods:
Pan-fried salmon – Use a little oil or melted butter to brush the fish, then lay it onto a heated frying pan with the skin facing down. Fry the fish for around four or five minutes on each side, or less for a smaller piece. You can tell when the fish is cooked as it will start to change colour right through to the middle. Keep turning for two or three more minutes, until the salmon is thoroughly cooked.
Grilled salmon – Start by brushing the fish and the pan with oil or a little melted butter. Next, place the salmon into a pan with the skin side facing upwards. Turn on the grill and allow it to get very hot, before popping under the salmon and grilling for around three or four minutes on each side. When the fish feels firm and the flesh is opaque, it is ready to serve.
Oven-baked salmon – Oven baking a salmon gives you a chance to prepare other parts of the finished meal. Begin by preheating an oven to Gas Mark 6, or 200°C, or 400°F. Next, season the fish, place it on a greased baking tray and cook for ten to fifteen minutes.
Poached salmon – Poaching will cook salmon well, and it doesn’t require any added fats. Fill a large, deep pan with enough water to cover the fillets, and add seasoning, along with herbs and lemon to taste. Over a gentle heat bring the water to a simmer and slide in the fish before covering. Leave for 25 minutes, then remove and drain before serving.
Steamed salmon – Also known as Salmon en Papillote, this method retains moisture, as the fish is wrapped in baking paper or foil. Start by preheating the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C, or 400°F. Cut the paper or foil to shape, place in the fish and season. Then add oil and lemon to taste, and close up the package. Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes, then serve immediately.
4 Ways to Cook Salmon

What’s Different About Smoked Salmon?
Smoked salmon was first eaten in the UK some 200 years ago. British fishermen did not realise the fish could be caught off the coast of Scotland each summer, so it was imported. The smoking process preserved the fish at a time when refrigeration was unreliable, keeping it edible for longer and producing a distinctive taste. Once Scottish salmon was discovered, smoked salmon become a home-produced treat, favoured by turn-of-the-century fine dining restaurants and delicatessens. Today there are some producers, like Forman and Field who smoke salmon the traditional way. This involves hand filleting, dry-curing with rock salt, then hanging over oak and beech smoke.
Today, smoked salmon is still considered a high-end product and it can be expensive. However, cheap smoked salmon can be bought in small amounts to use in scrambled eggs, on top of crackers, stirred into pasta or in a quiche. Smoked salmon delivers huge amounts of flavour, so you can add it sparingly.
Benefits of Eating Salmon
Whether it’s baked, seared, or grilled, salmon is a very healthy choice. Here are some of the reasons why:
It’s rich in Omega 3– This is an essential fatty acid which could cut the risk of heart disease and keep skin looking good. It’s also known to aid neurological growth in unborn babies. Authorities like The American Heart Association recommend two or three omega 3-rich meals per week, in order to gain the maximum benefits.
It can help with weight loss– A serving of salmon provides more than half of an adult's recommended daily protein intake. Protein helps you maintain a healthy metabolism which can encourage weight loss. Moreover, it makes you feel fuller for longer.
Salmon is packed with B-vitamins– Salmon contains vitamins B12 and B6, both of which offer a raft of potential health benefits. Together they can increase your energy levels, lower cholesterol, and give your immune system a bump start.
It provides a healthy dose of vital minerals– We only need small amounts of selenium, but it’s an important part of our diet. Studies have shown it can safeguard the nervous system from age related illnesses and increase feelings of well-being. An average serving of salmon gives you half the recommended daily dose of selenium.
How to Get Salmon at the Best Price
All the major UK supermarkets, like Waitrose, Aldi and Tesco, sell a selection of fresh, frozen and tinned salmon. At Marks & Spencer, you can buy a range of luxury pre-prepared salmon dishes and at Sainsburys, you can shop for salmon dishes in their basics range. Alternatively, you can opt to have fresh salmon delivered straight to your door by an online fishmonger like Fish for Thought.
Salmon is available all year round, though it can be cheaper at Christmas when the bigger supermarkets, like Tesco and Asda compete with each other for customers. At other times of the year, you can look out for seasonal deals at Morrisons which has a large fish counter, and Amazon which sells a range of salmon products. On Black Friday, you can find food deals that include salmon at most major supermarkets, and at Notonthehighstreet.com you can shop for cut price salmon gift kits.

Don’t get your comment mate!
For info, it’s Eastern Europe week with products in store folks, suspect it hasn’t been advertised due to sensitivities on the Ukraine crisis. Just flagging in case people have been waiting for specific items - There doesn’t seem to any new products compared to the last time this was run at the end of September 2021, see Ocean’s post from last time to see the products in the screenshots of the leaflet
Thanks as always ocean 💙
That’s great. The last time I went to Lidl I bought stuff and a low cost magnolia plant. Actually that was last night. Think I’ll go again tonight.

You're welcome (y) Aww, hopefully they'll have it in store. They should stock more of the popular ones though
Thanks for that, NP (highfive) ! Love the salmon, which is difficult to find anywhere. But clicking on the link it is unfortunately unavailable.
…..born and raised. On the playground is where I spent most of my days (cheeky)
I just buy my chocolate spread of choice and cheap cream cheese, tastes better too imo! Philadelphia has lots of gums in
Are you sure? It's been removed from their website for some reason. :/

Wow, hubby loves this and like others said perfect size for a sandwich but usually well over my price range x
But it will be a nice sandwich 🥪 tho .😋
Just enough for a sandwich

China exports salmon now? :o “Produced and Packed in China”
https://www.iceland.co.uk/offers/frozen-offers/3-for-10-fish
Exactly
they used to have other fish in it like that yellow smoked one but they dont have that now which is a shame
Lol this is the regular deal as always

Is this offer still on ?
Just been there again today, still advertised as £1.49 but there wasn't any, glad I got my 24 cans :-)
Is this a limited time reduction or a permanent price? If limited, then when till? Tia.
Sockeye salmon is red salmon (y)
I looked into this the other day, it doesn't actually say 'Red' salmon anywhere on the tin. Also the barcode number shown on the shelf edge label is different to that on the tin.

Yes, cat flea pills to kill off fleas. I stuff them into the top of a piece of a cat stick treat and give them a piece without the pill and then the piece with the pill. Works everytime.
Nice one. Thanks for this @ksun_Lee
Hahahha so true Try greenies pill pockets, damn pricey but mind both wolfed them down :)
Great stuff. My dog has this in her dinner and has made an excellent difference to her coat. She’s a golden so has long fur. Heat, however this is usually this price in Costco
Will this make my whippets faster? I bought 2.5 kg from pets at Home. I've been giving 10 a day for almost a year band it's still about 40% left!

Burns Day on 25th January. Carrots will be a loss leader in many stores this week.
Yes they are transporting them from Scotland :)
Transport costs!
Thanks :)
Thank you :)

...fishcakes....
We've got local problems in our Morrisons and Sainsbury's then...nothing for two weeks
Nope. Plenty in my local Sainsbury's and ASDA and usually marked down at the end of the day or early morning. I blame the bears eating all that salmon.
Sorted
Got any salmon?


still £40 in mine tonight so not nationwide
£25 a kilo is very expensive for a larger portion of smoked salmon, unless you specifically want the knife. Tesco are selling 300g of already sliced smoked salmon for £2.50 at this point in time, which is less than £10 a kilo.
Different Quality of knives in each photo ? In the photos above : Photo shows a quality vented carving knife And below knife is a cheaper non vented version just pointing it out.
Yes, smoked salmon is relatively expensive, depends what you're comparing it to! At this price it's relatively inexpensive compared to errr smoked salmon!
This post is an education in how much salmon costs! Sheeeesh (:I (popcorn)

What does the tesco salmon taste like these days? I used to love smoked salmon 30 years ago, when i bought it from the fishmonger in Leadenhall market, the day he got a delivery straight from the Scottish smoke hose, ten quid half a side. Beautiful. A few years later i gave up eating it (then bought from supermarkets) because the taste was pretty offputting. Had some from marks this christmas, first time for a while, and was pretty good, so maybe practices have got better. Last time i looked, scottish farmed salmon was extremely intensive, cruel, abnormal life for a salmon, lots of antibiotics to stop the lot from dying. Seems extremely unhealthy to me, and i am the opposite of a food freak, eating anything and everything. I hope things have changed for the better salmon farming practices these days.
I DON’T WORK FOR MOWI!! Have you never heard of chain of custody / traceability? We know absolutely everything you can imagine about the salmon we buy. You clearly have no concept of the levels of technical checks that go into food manufacturing and would rather subscribe to opinions and out of date news I’ll stick to our technical departments scientifically approved lab tests thanks
That video is like 10 years ago. Has things got better now? I know Ethoxyquin is banned in EU for fish feed but not sure about UK?
The stuff you are spouting is about 15 years out of date when aquaculture was in its infancy. I told you I work for a processor not a farm, every intake of salmon we have is accompanied with treatment and feed sheets which is a requirement of the very tight regulations. Please post your up to date scientific papers for my review and I’ll happy change my opinion, rather than referring to subjective opinions about bent farmers
I could not find this pack in Tesco Finchley

Bought at local Tesco, display price still shows £5, scans as £2.50 with the club card.
I think that's normal for Tesco (and Sainsbury's too). They usually change prices online on a Tuesday, because people place orders for collection or delivery the following day so they see the new prices a day before they change in store. The prices then change instore on a Wednesday, to match the online prices. The only way I can think you were charged the higher price for the salmon, is if the order was picked in store and charged before midnight, so they used the in store prices for Tuesday (£3.75) instead of Wednesday (£2.50).
All their prices generally change on Tuesdays so this is a bit odd to be changing on a Wednesday
It may have been £5 before Christmas, but the most recent price was £3.75, and also the OP says "£2.50 (Was £3.75)". So you were charged yesterday's price instead of today's price. You should check were charged the correct price for everything else in your order, as other items may have changed price overnight.
If that was the case, then I would have been charged the normal price of £5

Bought the 500g for £5 before Christmas, even better deal if you can find it.
You never tried Windows vista?
Swim along then ..this deal isn't for you
Why would anyone want to eat farmed salmon? Your doing more damage than good
Also if you want to add it to scrambled egg cut/snap a bit off and add it through scrambled egg yummmmm

Have they refunded you?
Mine was 'unavailable' - probably due to being in high demand - but it is still showing up for me as being on offer on the Website until 07/01/22 so everyone who is being charged full-price should be being refunded by Sainsburys Customer Services ... https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/PromotionDisplayView?promotionId=10499975&productId=1396946&langId=44&storeId=10151
8-9pm tonight.
What time is your delivery
I’ve ordered some as well. Not sure what’s going on! I chose 2-3kg but on my receipt they say 900g and looks full price!

Did it get eaten by a sturgeon?
Will trymy local Aldi tomorrow. Don’t want to go to Morrisons due to staff being so rude there. (y)
Same mainly we’re close to 3kg mark and I even asked the counter and they said most are around 2.5-3 kg mark. Pointless for us when there’s very few of us at home
Anybody got any salmon? LURRRRVLEEYYY (WAHAHAHA!)
Tesco has similar price too and skilled fishmongers. Morrisons will not clean, cut or remove bones...
How do big companies still get away with charging more for the same product based on marketing + named brands? Asda does an own label big tin of pink salmon which is much better value (418g, nearly double the size of John West's 213g) for only £3: https://groceries.asda.com/product/salmon/asda-pacific-pink-salmon/20842 Or, a same sized Asda tin (213g) pink salmon is 39p less at £1.70 I do agree that red salmon is tastier, and usually buy Asda own brand 213g, currently priced at £2.80: https://groceries.asda.com/product/salmon/asda-red-salmon/910002608830
Thanks I’ll pick some up for my furry besties as a treat.x 😻
Pink Salmon is very bland and tasteless - Red salmon is much more expensive.
