Removing Salmon Bones
Before salmon fillets make it into the supermarket seafood case, the fishmonger has taken out the backbone and the ribs. But
he doesn’t always catch the thin, soft pin bones that “float” in the flesh. Here’s a quick way to remove them at home.
Step 1: Run your index finger along the center seam of the fillet, going against the grain. If there are any pin bones present, you’ll
feel them protruding at about half-inch intervals.
Step 2: With clean tweezers, grasp the tip of the bone and tug, pulling at a slight angle instead of up and out (pin bones grow slanted
toward the fish’s head). Repeat as necessary.
