I still see cooking shows where people say to cook salmon to 145. That's insanely overcooked. Wild salmon

only needs to be cooked to 120, farmed to 125. The more you cook it the fisher and chalkier it tastes. Stop the overcooking insanity! It's like turkeys used to be.

Shoot, many prefer wild salmon not cooked at all!

Why are you eating salmon when you could be eating brisket?

Why not both?

Because you could be eating twice as much brisket

I respect your bacon takes, but you’re wrong on brisket vs salmon

Brisket is better than salmon. I don't think we disagree. I just don't have 12-14 hours all the time.

Tri tip is tastier and faster than brisket and barely more expensive

I never use the thermometer on fish. It's the easiest meat to judge for me

Yeah. You don’t need a thermometer. At all.

But error on undercooking vs overcooking.

I do because I put it on the smoker and don't want to watch it.

Here's my guess... It isn't because that is where it tastes best, rather that is

I have no idea about temperature, but I love salmon and want it fully cooked.
