I have an Asda next to my house.

Stowmarket Asda won't fillet ,always "Far too busy " always rude if you dare ask as well....Tesco always fillet no problem and with a smile ...

Hot, why is Salmon so expensive?

Just bought a couple of big ones which were reduced by a further 50% and still look very fresh (eyes are still nice and shiny!)

One of the advantages of living next to Asda.

Was available yesterday when I looked.

Does anyone know whether this item still available today and the rest of the week ??

Thanks

Just bought a big one @ Ware Asda. £13.72 for a 2.74kg fish. Same weight fish @ Tesco would've cost £24.66 :confused:

Also, use by date is 6/12.

I have been to few ASDA in London.
WHat they do is they normally already seal the whole Salmon in the plastic bag and they will tell you porkies that they are not allowed to open it due to health risk ....

i have no idea how many they have nor whether the lazy fishmonger there will put it on display but if in the locale, worth trying.

Just had phone call 24hr Asda #Blyth have had delivery today - same price £5/kilo

Wanted 3x and the miserable cow behind counter said she didn't have time to fillet any.

Asked again politely and she said she could do 2x but not 3x...

Hopefully next customer didn't want one

​how do you book the class?

Think my username might give away where I live....long long way from London.

How to fillet a salmon: YouTube is your friend (as with much else practical stuff).

Good price..but as they wont fillet the fish,like Morrisons do..ill leave it.
I made a right pigs a**e of the last one I bought from Asda...rather pay a bit more,and have it filleted for me.

Well the miserable git in Asda Walton nearly through a wobbler last year when I asked him to fillet a whole salmon and after a lot of nasty snarls he finally 'butchered' it in 20 seconds leaving most of the flesh on the bone.

That salmon is a trout.

​yes they do,all should! I run the counters section

we do fillet them (I also work for asda). I have been doing that today. I hate whole salmon!!!

Nice find; there has been a salmon shortage due to lice infestation and the available salmon were going into prepared fish (fillets and pieces) as these are higher value items. Hopefully things have got back to normal.

Wait for Tesco to do an offer,they will do whatever preparation you want.

I bought one last year we asked and they said they don't fillet them because they are pre packed in sealed bags it was an absolute nightmare doing it ourselves

​Not at this price they don't, and when it is this price, they usually pack the fish and put them in freezes away from the fish counter, so, if you do walk upto the fish counter with a packed full salmon, they're like we got nothing to do with that fish, it's not from the fish counter.

​they will fillet, I'm a counters section leader at asda and if they won't see customer services and a manager will look in to why they won't.

Nice pic of the knife chopping off the poor Salmons head lol

"I find the larger the fish, the easier it is to fillet."

:confused:

thank God.
iv been looking for a loose salmon :wink:

voted hot. but tbh i hate it when they dont cut it up for you. Ive tried doing it myself but its more of a hatchet job

Nice one i've been waiting for the whole salmon deals to start.

Have asked 3 or 4 times over a period of time....they always say they don't fillet them.

Cook it whole

Can't find "online" - anyone know if this is available home shopping? just in the middle of an order

Whole salmon?

How big are the tins?

Thanks OP :smiley: Just in time <3
