What is Upcycling?
Upcycling is the process of transforming discarded materials (ED NOTE: fish heads, frames, fins, and tails) into new, higher quality products It diverges from recycling by focusing on adding value, not just reusing.
Food upcycling tries to make use of food scraps and leftovers that would otherwise be thrown away. These leftover bits get creatively repurposed into nutritious, flavorful ingredients.
How Upcycled Salmon is Made
Upcycled salmon utilizes the trimmings and off-cuts generated during salmon filleting and processing, Around 75% of a salmon goes unused when it’s filleted for steaks and fillets
Rather than discarding these nutrient-rich scraps, innovative companies are now collecting them from processors and turning them into products like salmon burgers, sausages, fish cakes, and jerky.
The salmon bits are chopped, minced, seasoned, and combined with binders to make eco-friendly seafood items. These products deliver the same nutritional benefits as conventional salmon in a sustainable form.
The Benefits of Upcycled Salmon
There are many benefits for the environment, businesses, and consumers from using recycled salmon:
Reduces Waste: Salmon trimmings are turned into edible products instead of being discarded. This decreases waste across the seafood supply chain.
Promotes Sustainability: By utilizing waste, upcycled salmon reduces the need to catch more fish. This eases pressure on wild populations and the oceans.
Offers Affordability: As a method for repurposing scraps, upcycled salmon costs less than conventional fillets, making sustainable seafood affordable.
Provides Nutrition: Upcycled items contain the same levels of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals as regular salmon.
Boosts Profits: Companies can earn extra revenue by selling upcycled goods made from waste previously treated as a sunk cost.
Adds Variety: Consumers benefit from new, value-added seafood options that promote sustainability.

The Fish Heads song!

Actually it’d be baloney of the sea.
I knew fish had a*holes, but didn’t know they had lips.
Chum. This is what you feed housecats, not people.

My cat finds processed salmon and tuna discards yummy. Me, not even willing to give them a try.
Feed it to the left. We’ll keep the best food for real workers and producers.
I’ll have what the cats having, with a salad.
My very first thought!
Great minds think alike!
Soylent Salmon is fish!
We toss the head, spine and tail back into the river. Hell, the whole body dies and decomposes in the water naturally, we just help it along. After the runs are complete, the river stinks pretty bad for a week or two.
I’d prefer that fish scraps be “upcycled” into garden fertilizer, as God intended.
Why not grind it up dry it and sell as fertilizer?
Wrong character.
Sounds like what they do with chicken parts to make chicken nuggets.
And it sounds equally disgusting.
I’ve filleted thousands of fish. Of them, about 50% is the usual meat, 30% is the guts, and 20% is the bones, skin and head.
When they start feeding you the lesser half, what proportion do you figure is the “upcycling” of fish guts?
Liquid fish fertilizer is what you spray on your parking strip when the homeless encampment moves in.
There might be a little over spray.
Pet food. Chicken feed (the good stuff). Fermented fish sauces. Fertilizers for consumer markets.
