Here is the first blurb from the first site that came up when I put my googles on Joe.... "Salmon skin is in fact edible, although it may not be terribly exciting, depending on how the salmon was prepared. The scales of salmon are not edible, however, so if you plan to eat the skin of salmon you are preparing, make sure that it is well scaled. While the scales will not kill you, they can cut your mouth or become lodged in your throat, causing extreme discomfort."

Take that about ten feet further into your intestines... even at your young age. OWWWWWW!!!

I have eaten unscaled salmon but I shant discuss the drunken circumstances. I am fine, thanks for asking. But, I scale mine completely and LOVE the skin. It's dEEElicious.
