So all (that I've bought from) supermarkets sell their salmon fillets with scales on. Do you descale it before pan frying?

Sainsbury's; morrisons; tesco are the supermarkets I've bought salmon fillets from mainly

Edit: Please stop assuming I'm a dumbass who doesn't know what scales look like. We have established that YES, SCALES ARE PRESENT, I AM NOT MISTAKING SKIN FOR SCALES BECAUSE I HAVE EYES. They are on the fillets, and if you haven't noticed them, then feel free to not participate in this post.

The scales are unfortunately across the whole fillet, not just a few stray ones. No bones though (most of the time, there are some missed stray ones sometimes)
