Eating with the dogs


Taking a look at this photo of my fresh wild caught pacific salmon you may not guess that it was intended as dog food. 

My dog, Sebastian, eats a diet of 90% raw meat, 10% veggies and leftover grains or legumes. I spotted salmon trimmings at PCC about a month ago for $2.99 per lb and quickly bought it up for Sebastian. As I was feeding it to him, I noticed how much meat was actually on these so-called trimmings! 

The next time I bought it, I bought about $5 worth, put it in a oven pan with a thin layer of water and cooked it up for about 8 minutes at 350 degrees sprinkled with salt, pepper, and dill. The meat was perfect. Positively delicious.

The best part: I ate my heart out, as you can see from the plate, and Sebastian also got a full belly from all the skin, fins, and less perfect pieces! 

I am very fortunate for the wonderful food I eat, and so is Sebastian. Now if only he'd get a job.

  2. I reckon you could! I wonder what they do with them if they don't put them out for sale though... I wonder if Jerry's meats has some SMOKED salmon trimmings, that would be sweet. Does Taku sell their trimmings? I know that that's what they use for the salmon spread..
