Fish Skin

In salmon, the fat under the skin is where the omega 3 is, so it is really good, but I'm not completely sure about other fishes. Anyways, I don't think it is bad a all.

This is also why I give it to the dogs as well.. ( only raw). they love it.. As far as ourselves, we eat alot of fish. I also read somewhere its rich in vit A and D which us woman need, not to mention iron.

The skin? Or just fish in general?

I disagree with that statment. Women, in fact, people in general, should remove the skin from fish before eating for contaminant protection and fat protection.

I drew my comment from the EPA site.

EPA fish advisory for women

As I recall any fatty bottom feeder type fish you're supposed to remove the skin from; catfish, bass, etc. However I've eaten a ton of fish (skin on most of them) every summer for years without problems, but I get fish from a small private lake, dunno if that makes a difference.
