Quoting MarioninTurkey: It is a cultural thing!
My Hong Kong friends say the best flesh on a large fish is in the cheek. they also love to eat the eyes.
In the UK we find this a horrible idea!
American visitors normally freeze when they see the fish has bones in it at a Bosphorus restaurant, and I have to ask the waiters to fillet it for them, before they feel comfortable to eat it. |
I have heard this too Marion, the cheek having the best flesh. But eating eyes..I don't think I could stomach this..  Don't they make some kind of soup with fish eyes in Hong Kong?

There is a story that when pirates secured a captive, in order to determine the captivess worth they served fish to see what part the captive went for. If they went for the cheeks, they knew they were valuable and were treated well in order to secure a high ransom. |

Not just a different tradition from a country to another,but also within the same country,
Here,they make fish soup also with heads,but its more popular on the coasts' cities
Even they judge if the one is good cook or not by making such soup ,if its not smelly and has not so ever smell of fish,then she or he is a good cook
But in other cities,specially in Cairo,specially to me ..is not that popular
mmm i cant say to my taste actually because i've never tasted,and will never also...
