I've always thought the fat was just laying around loose in the abdominal cavity. My assumption is that the yellow meat by the dorsal fin differs from the white meat elsewhere due to difference in use, like white meat (low usage) vs. dark meat (heavy usage) on chickens and turkeys. ALthough I don't see how the dorsal fin (spine) would be a frequently used muscle in CC too big for anything to eat.

Maybe somebody really knows and can tell us???
