Atlantic salmon · Portion
Salmo salar
A portion specification has five parts, and leaving any one out produces an argument at delivery: target weight, tolerance, where on the fillet the piece was cut, skin status, and whether the quoted weight is before or after glazing. All five are set out here, in metric and in ounces for markets that buy in imperial.
