    Edit: 2nd salmon went a lot easier. Ended up with about 5kg of fillets for £30. Next time will ask for the heads to be added to bag for the fish stock planning to make. Definately a skill i will keep practising.
    Very very sharp knives are the answer. I use my DH's   PM knife, it's a long time since it had its original use.

    OUT: Half leg of lamb for Sunday
    IN: 4 battered haddock, 2x3 nice local butcher sausage.
    going in my portioned salmon, filleted but yet to portion, I boiled the head and trimmings as a treat for the dog. 
    Salmon made 8 portions
    Do I need it or just want it.

    coming in late but i need accountability to clear out my freezer before we leave Florida for the summer.  
    this week:
    i: salad mix, yogurt for dh, cheese (just the little bits and bobs we use each week)
    o:  minced beef and lamb for kefta, a package of bangers and a package of mashed potatoes, a small chuck roast, 2 boxes of pie crust, 1 jar of morello cherries and 3 packages of cream cheese making cherry galettes for dh and our neighbors (who LOVED the galettes :) ).  2 dozen eggs--we eat a LOT of eggs.  Oh, and a package streaky bacon.   This morning I took out a whole chicken to eat this weekend. 

    I think I'm making some progress--you can actually see some air in each freezer!

    We're eating leftovers residing in the fridge from Easter, it was also DH's birthday. Then I'm going to move onto the small freezer in the kitchen which has all the bits and bobs - opened packets, bits of leftovers which have been frozen, It's a bit of a mish mash but there should be enough for a few days. Just going to check the other larger freezers to make sure they are all properly closed.
