I was just asking when you eat fish do you eat the fish head. Most don't eat the head but it's really the best part of the fish.
I save the heads for fish soup. Usually I like red fish, but these are small fish(menpachi) so I would use about 8-12 small heads. After eating it...seems my body likes it..gives a real soothing feeling.

My wife eats all the fish heads, including eyeballs. Fish eggs too. We also make fish soup. I love fish sauce, btw. Wife customizes it with vinegar, sugar, garlic & super thin carrot strips.

Many Vietnamese dishes need fish sauce, specially egg rolls. Now we can buy prepared fish sauce for egg rolls in Vietnamese groceries.
I do like fish head and fish eggs too.

Smash up some peanuts and sprinkle in the fish sauce for the egg & spring rolls... Yum.

The best meat on the entire fish is the cheek. For those unaware, it's sort of the same as the 'oyster' in a chicken thigh.
And actually, cheek meat is also the best meat on a pig too.

Fish head soup as recalled growing as young child an important nutrient sort of a thing. The fish head had a lot of important nutrients especially for the growing younger ones.

Fish head fish head rolly polly fish head.
Back on topic, my mother would make fish head soup with a little bit of tamarind soup base.

I find the cheek meat of any animal I am eating the flesh of to be superb.

The secret is that the fish cheeks are the best meat of the entire fish, and it is boneless and a fish meat texture with no slimy or gooey substance! Even if you don't eat the fish head you should try it out.
The rest of the head? I'll make a broth out of it and use the broth to make a tofu soup. Yum.
