nearly barfed, smell was disgusting and salmon was minging, bits of fat and bone, Bleurgh!! and I normally eat tinned tuna, sardines, mackeral etc.

wont be buying that again, and I am sure my work colleagues will be happy as the office now stinks!!

I like it. Just don't expect it to be anything like actual salmon.

I used to have a colleague who regularly ate lunch at his desk, and regularly had smoked mackerel ... lovely aromas around the office for the rest of te afternoon after that.

Agreed. Mingin!

I had the same reaction the one time I ever opened a can of the stuff. Couldn’t eat it. How can it be so far removed from any other form of edible Salmon?

have you ever noticed how yer actual salmon is a bit pointy at both ends, yet all cans of salmon are the same size?

Can't stomach it either. I like canned tuna though, I'd have chosed a can of that to go with salad. Or maybe some smoked salmon from the counter.

I know it's petty but I find it really irritating when people write this, that's all.

The smell is a bit iffy, it's true, but then it's fish...
Just about to go and make my salmon sarnies for tomorrow; take the skin and bones out, sprinkle with black pepper, chili pepper and vinegar, mix up well, sorted.

Tinned salmon okay-ish but not tasty (haven't touched it for several years now).

Tinned mackerel might slightly better but still not tasty.

Tinned anchovy ... nice-ish.

Tinned sardine ... nice.

Norwegian marinated Herring ... very nice.

Most smoked fish ... very nice.

[b]Tinned tuna ... vile like eating rough soaked cardboard.[/b]

Taking bones and skin out of tinned fish ... 😆

[HOVIS] Tinned salmon used to be a luxury when I was a kid- seriously.
The whole family would gather, flat caps quivering in anticipation as our mam sliced deep into her thumb with t'can opener.
Bit of pepper, mayo and served with fresh cucumber, lettuce and tomato on sliced bread, lovely.
You hardly noticed the blood. [HOVIS]

Just had kiln roasted salmon fillets in cracked black pepper for breakfast with a splash of vinegar - lovely.

I used to work on a fish farm near Fort William. The ugly deformed salmon (there were a lot...) and the ones that had had their heads and tails half eaten away by sea-lice, were sent for tinning. The handsome ones went for 'actual fish shaped' finished product processing.

Manky job with some gopping tasks involved, but nice being outside all the time.
