every time I grill steelhead  or salmon my wife rolls her eyes at me when I scrape all of the fatty gray meat off the back of the fillet before I eat it.   She says it's a waste to do that.... I've always done it, that gray meat tastes like crap. 

What about all of you?

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I couldnt figure out why I never liked salmon or steelhead. My budy (Fishcrazy) told me about that grey meat so now I scrape it all off, sure tastes better now  ;)

Take your fellet and skin it when you clean your fish it's awesome to eat that way.  Flavor all the way threw the fish.  And the grayish meat will be felled off.
Work sucks!!!! I should be shed hunting

try removing it before you cook it, it comes out with a better taste if you cook it without

Skin on any fish will add fishiness to the taste, always best to remove if you can
