Organic is generally a con but I wont disagree about the salmon as described by TS because I haven't ever eaten wild salmon but I can believe he is right. We used to have milk straight from the cow on the farm, sometimes straight into the cup if mum had run out and she would take it to the cow, and strip some out. It was delicious. I don't drink milk now.

Fry on skin side till the skin is crispy { just a few minutes on a high heat } then flip them over, turn off the heat and leave to cook through for just a minute. So simple and quick and they have a lovely flavour. Serve with whatever you like. They go really well with a pepper and tomato type ratatouille. <br />Lots of love, <br />Chef Jackie !!!!!!!
