Fun & Helpful Tip:
I loveeeeee the skin. Its very thin and delicate, with itty bitty tiny scales. If you are cooking a la Saute, try to crispen the skin. If you're baking, try to broil with the skin side up for the last 2 minutes to crispen it up. its sooooooo remarkably good and buttery delicious with a crunchy bite. Yum!
