I can't believe all you people eat these greasy skanky tasting salmon bellies, even leaving them on the fillet almost ruins the whole fillet. I can't believe somebody would eat just the belly. A fillet without the belly and other fatty areas tastes fresh, clean and healthy. The belly is just greasy skank meat. It's like eating the fat off of a steak. I cut the fat off my steak and throw up in my mouth a little bit just thinking of eating the fat by itself. It may be OK for Jack Sprat's wife but not for me.

It makes great bait, it's oils keep scenting for a while. I wouldn't call that a waste.

I won't even go into the fatty areas being where they concentrate toxins.
