When I fillet up a salmon, I also "cheek" it, just like halibut; very tasty. This last fish I just tossed the two small pieces on the grill with the fillets; no sauce, just plain, very yummy. Not enough to share though ;)

Wasn't sure if anyone would find this interesting.... or just very, disgusting and/or weird...... hahaha
 
Wow, that is a beautiful piece of fish! Alaska has amazing salmon and it looks like you did a great job cooking it. Makes me want to eat more salmon!
 
Thanks for the replies you guys ! I don't think a lot of people know about "cheeking"..... I won't be going out to get my halibut quota until July this year, I'll try to get pictures to post of some really big cheeks :shock: ! We stuff the halibut cheeks with crab, prawns and cheese and bake those.... yummy
 
Nice cheeks, FR! ;) :LOL: Looks like you know how to use a knife, a lil bit anyway. ;) :D

I've heard of walleye, but never anything else. Great pix.

Extremely interesting. Don't get a lot of whole salmon around these parts so never heard of this before for them. Looks great! Thanks for sharing!!
