Is this a violation of buffet restaurant etiquette?

A year or two ago I went by myself to a buffet and wondered If it was ok for me to take all of the skin from the turkey, and leave most of the breast meat uncovered. I didn’t know, and I ended up taking a whole leg. I ate all of if but I still wanted the turkey skin. So I took a little and left the turkey breast covered so as not to dry it out faster under the food heat lamp.

Would it be ok for me to take the whole skin next time after the restaurant opens up?

Humor and serous answers welcome.
