Dissecting a salmon


I dissected a full grown salmon today in school. I was about going to throw up in the middle because it was so gross. The teacher cut the eye out. And they took out the kidney...oh man, it was gross. Eewwww..... It was like a red gloppy heart. It was a really weird type of jello. They also took out the bladder. The heart..eeewww...was absolutely disgusting because it was a goopy thing. She fried the fish and let everyone have a taste. I didn't have any because I don't like salmon. It stinks. Thank goodness I didn't have to do any of it!

Well, I DO love salmon but I have to admit if I had to dissect it before eating it, I probably wouldn't want any either!

This reminds me of my smelt story. Smelt was one of my favorite fish to eat as a child. It is a mild, nearly sweet tasting fish and I really loved it fried with some cornmeal coating of some sort on the fish. Then, one day, I had to clean the smelt. It was absolutely disgusting, it was all goopy and yuky stuff that you cut out and the worst part was the eggs you had to cut out. BLECK. I could never EVER enjoy smelt again. I would always remember how disgusting it was. Which is why Don has to clean the shrimp, because I never want to lose the enjoyment of eating shrimp!!!

Yup...I remember watching mom clean the smelt and she would make comments like, "Oh, here was a pregnant one!" I watched her a little too closely one day and that was my undoing. Haven't eaten a smelt since!!
