Salmon Burger Review

A couple of years ago I stumbled upon some salmon burgers in the frozen fish market section of my grocery store. They’ve remained a staple in my diet since that day. I adore them. They are somewhat processed salmon meat with herbs and spices, coated in a breaded concoction. They’re quick and delicious either just by themselves or on a light bun. One day I saw a different brand of them that drew my attention. They seemed to be a bit less processed and had great nutritional info to boot so I bought them to try. Huge mistake. As soon as I started microwaving the first burger (at work no less…) I could tell by the pungently nasty odor that was quickly filling the kitchen that it wasn’t going to be pretty. I don’t quite know how to describe it but it definitely wasn’t the usual salmon-y smell from my usual burger. It was more of a putrid, greasy fish smell. Honestly, it was revolting. The amount of grease that had oozed out of that thing while it was nuking was remarkable! Gross. It was lumpy and chunky which, you would assume meant nice big chunks of salmon, but not so much. There were fatty chunks… ew; I’m getting nauseated just remembering it. I actually did get the courage to pinch off the tiniest of pieces and put it in my mouth, just so I could be sure that my initial reaction was correct. It barely made it past my lips when I was spitting it in the trash. OMG, it was most disgusting thing I’ve had in my mouth in a long time.
