So all (that I’ve bought from) supermarkets sell their salmon fillets with scales on. Do you descale it before pan frying?

Sainsbury’s; morrisons; tesco are the supermarkets I’ve bought salmon fillets from mainly

Edit: Please stop assuming I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know what scales look like. We have established that YES, SCALES ARE PRESENT, I AM NOT MISTAKING SKIN FOR SCALES BECAUSE I HAVE EYES. They are on the fillets, and if you haven’t noticed them, then feel free to not participate in this post.

    I think you must be getting confused, salmon is not sold in UK supermarkets with the scales on. Just the skin.

      Nope. Go buy any of the packs I’ve linked and you’ll see the scales are still on.
