I agree with Robo. If it is so good, you eat it.

Women put the nastiest things in their mouthes. Things I never would.....

that's the stuff with the omega-3 fatty acids in it.  good fresh salmon won't taste fishy if you leave it in.

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 

What are buddys for?
Helping guys like Bucky eat more fish.
Now if I can find away to get you to like steak!!

thanks.  Once again.... I'm right!     

[NRA4LIFE]

Yeah, get rid of it.  Especially if canning the meat.

If you fillet the skin off the fillet, you can get the gray meat off, otherwise you will have to do it after the cooking normally.  I like to leave the skin on for the BBQ, then remove it with the fork.

Nothing beats a nice fresh king on the BBQ. If you cook your fish in foil then it will probably taste like crap. Try this and then see how much is left on the platter, even that "gray stuff".
1. Fire up briquettes and get them white hot
2. Take salmon fillet and brush melted butter all over the meat side.
3. Season fillet with your seasoning of choice, mine is dill, salt, and Pepper.
4. brush some melted butter on the grill and lay fillet meat side down directly on grill.
5. Cover grill and let cook for 10 minutes or so.  (depends on how thick the fillet is)
6. brush more butter on the skin side of fish then flip fillet over skin side down.
    cover and let finish cooking. You should use two spatulas to prevent fillet from
    coming apart.
   squeeze some lemon over meat side and serve.
   I guarantee you will never put another poor salmon in tin foil again after trying it this way. Yes I do love the belly meat and the fat.

love it! you are all girls

[EastWaViking]

Here is how I do it.  lay the skin side down on tin foil.  pour melted butter, sprinkle with garlic salt, and tellicherry pepper.  Stick it on the BBQ with cedar and mesquite wood and cook/smoke it.  It delicious.... the gray meat still is gross.
