Cuts of Salmon:

• Fillet is the most common cut of any fish. It is the cut of flesh that follows the line of the bones of the fish, but avoids any bones in the meat.
• Steaks are portions cut cross-section through the fish. They have bones in them.
• Suprêmes are cut from fillets. They are the fleshiest part of the animal and have no bones in them. They are the prime cut.
