Ah. Nice. I have a fish market convient to me where I often buy whole sardines for the pups. And they always have these great piles of scraps--mostly heads, but also bony carcases of large fish after filleting. I think mostly from large salmon. Usually for dirt cheap. I'm not industrious enough to make my own fish stock. But I often look at them and wonder if there's dog food in there. But I haven't bought any.

Salmon doesn't make the best fish stock anyway (in my book). I make it from shrimp shells and heads and less fatty fish frames mixed with fresh-frozen (not bottled) clam broth.

I think you are in the geographical danger zone for raw salmonids. ... I can check that out more carefully.
My old info about salmon poisoning being mainly limited to Washington, Oregon, northern California, and southern Vancouver Island (Canada), is outdated.
Coastal waterways from northern California all the way up into Canada and even Alaska are now danger zones for the fluke Nanophyetus salmincola that is infected by the rickettsia called Neorickettsia helminthoeca.
Depending on the reporting source, 60 to 90% of dogs who are infected and not treated die within about a week.
Treatment is multi-front: antibiotics, fluid support, blood transfusions, anti-fluke drugs, antiemetics, and antidiarrheals.
Idaho is seeing it ... I guess maybe because it's not actually as landlocked as I thought. (I'm not good at geography.) I found out today that dams and locks on the Columbia and Snake Rivers make Lewiston, Idaho the farthest-from-the-coast seaport on the Pacific coast of this country (besides Alaska).
