Salmon bones for soup?

Has anyone used salmon bones for soup (not stock). Someone told told me it makes great coconut curry soup but I've also heard that salmon bones can be fishier.

I do and I like it.
Sweet sour Vietnamese soup, Thai coconut soup.
I use fish bone, head and collar. Go for it. 

I've made soup out of the carcass + head before and it is indeed on the oily and fishy side, but I'm comparing it to striper soup in my mind which tends to be a very clean stock.

Worth a shot either way!

So, maybe you already know this but salmon is a fatty fish and I was told that it can turn rancid quickly. I actually got sick from week old stock (head and carcass) about a week or two ago. Really light headed and hot and cold.. It was kinda spooky but felt fine the following day.

Tasted good tho..

I give my carcasses to a lady i met who uses them to make fish stock for her chickens. She says it helps their eggs shells get thicker from the nutrients and calcium.  The chickens like it and I get to hunt turkeys on her ranch so it works out.

Brilliant! I was wondering what to do with the suspicious stock. My chickens absolutely destroyed the bones after I cooked it down. Great tip!

Heck, if I'm not using them myself, I just throw the carcasses in to my chickens.  No prep needed and they devour them as is.  I've read about some concerns of it making the eggs taste fishy, but I haven't experienced this.  It is more of a treat for them, and not their main diet.

Now that is awesome! Ive always wondered if they could even digest them, but its awesome to know that its more than enjoyed by the chickens.  Pretty awesome way to use the parts that you would still not normally use. 2nd best to composting at home (which you wouldn't even be able o do with bones anyway)!

Well, it all ends up in the compost anyways.  I rake the chicken yard into a big compost pile.  When I need the compost pile turned, I give the chickens access to it and they tear it down in less than a day, eating the tasty grubs, worms, and maggots as they go.  Then I rake it back up into a pile and cordon it off for a few days, to start the cycle all over.

Some people pay good money to feel like this...

Try roasting the salmon carcass/bones first before turning it into soup. It will help get rid of the excess fat and give you a cleaner stock, not to mention added umami.

It's an old Japanese technique that works on all sort of fatty fish....tuna, mackerel, etc...

I love Miso based salmon head & carcass soup, put onion, potato, carrots, wakame & etc...but my wife hates it, so can't make inside the house.
My friend made Sinigang & it was awesome too!

This is pretty good too. It gives another layer to the favor too.

awesome tip!!  i dont use a lot of bones.  i freeze it and portion it out.  i use fish bones to make congee.

i am gonna grill it first next time.

since i am such a crappy fisherman, my fish monger gives me free carcasses after he filets them.  shhhhh...
