Notes

Is Canned Salmon Already Cooked

Yes, canned salmon is already cooked. The can is designed for the salmon to be eaten straight from the can.

Are Canned Salmon Bones Edible

Yes, you can eat the bones. Due to the process of how they cook the salmon the bones are extremely soft. I personally remove the spine but that is personal preference. After the salmon cakes are done cooking you won't know there was ever a bone there.
