Title: Salmon liver?
Post by: HunterStrait on September 26, 2015, 08:25:42 PM: Decided to save some for whatever reason, i feel like i could use it for something. What do you guys use if for?

I'm not a liver eater, but my dog sure is, although im not going to give him any of this liver until im sure that it wont kill him. If it is bad for him, im chopping it up and using it for catfish bait.

Not exactly sure where that is (read about it a few years ago as I couldn't figure out how the Alaskans were able to feed their dogs dried salmon without any problems) but the south boundary may be the Sacramento River and the north boundary is somewhere in B.C. I don't feed my dog salmon anymore and when bank fishing I watch her like a hawk in case she finds a spawner that she wants to "sweeten" her coat with.

Wild salmon have worms that's probably why your dog shouldn't eat it. Sushi grade salmon is almost always farmed Atlantic salmon.

Domestically, maybe, because it's cheaper than prime grade wild. I guess if it's got enough antibiotics in it it kills the parasites?

A lot of the prime wild gets flash-frozen and shipped to Japan for sashimi. And it goes for unbelievable $$$$.

Flash-freezing kills the parasites that can be harmful to humans. Freezing is SOP for any raw salmon. I've heard it also works on the parasites that can infect dogs, but don't quote me on that.
