Do you like eating fish head?

@topffer I am very glad to hear that

French are different from other westerns. No wonder French food is one of the most famous food in the world

@youless Wow, thank you. We also appreciate Chinese food in France

Since Philippines is a tropical country and therefore you have lots of seafoods. You will not waste fish head and you will take full advantage of it

@youless True . Specially those head of big fish , oh they are so delicious to be made into a soupy sour dish . I love sucking the eyes .

@SIMPLYD the cheek and eye part is the best, my kids compete on who gets to eat the eyes when they were young

That's so nice you live in a tropical country and you have plenty of seafood with nice price

@louievill If I travel to your country, I shall have seafood everyday Then it will be worthy to the planet ticket, as you have to know that the seafood costs so much here

@youless that's one advantage, we should conserve it and not over fish, the best recipe fish heads uses the large heads.

Sometimes we like to eat the fish head because it has less bones than its body

@youless Yeah, but there's no meat and hard to eat... unless we use our hands to hold the head...

It has to be large fish heads that are known to be meaty, you will be surprised at the type of flesh so different from the body. Filipinos turn smaller fish heads to something crispy, you eat the whole thing, tahda! No bones

This kind of soup tastes wonderful

Yes sour soup with tamarinds and vegetables or " sinigang" is very common to us but might be too exotic for some of our friends.

Curried large fish head cooked in clay pots soup is delicious

I haven't tried the curried fish head yet. I can imagine it is a great dish.

It is the same here.

@youless The heads are obviously cleaned, removing those fins and stuff.

I can see it is not popular in America

@infatuatedbby Then you can export them to us and it is good for both of our countries

@youless Yes -not popular hehe.

In fact I have the same thought and this is why I posted this discussion here

Westerner here lol. In the western islands of Scotland we eat a meal of fish heads, members of the cod family. Phonetically it is sounded corn cropic. It is normal to drink the cooking liquids. very tasty and very healthy. this westerner loves his food, be it heads or tails lol. Enjoyed reading this thread friends.

I haven't tried the sheep brains yet. But I know in country like Morocco has a famous dish that made from sheep brain. If I travel there, perhaps I will try it anyway. I always like to try something new rather than the food I get used to everyday.

@JudyEv Yeah. It is one important experience in the travel is to try the local food

@youless It is part of the fun of travelling isn't it? Trying the food that the local people eat and trying to understand how they do things and how they live.

I understand it now. Here usually we use the fish which have very big head and this is why we can also eat it. The fish head price is even much more expensive than the fish itself

@Meramar Here it is different. The fish can be sold as the heads, bodies, tails and so on

@youless The difference is that here the fish is sold completely. They don't sell the head seperately. But, you can say if you don't want the head and they take it off.

Since we come from the same city, our diet habit shall be very similar

@NicholasM You come from Guangzhou, right?

@youless yes??

@shaynas - Do you take non-vegetarian dishes?

Yes, the fish is always healthy.

@dpk262006 Yeah i do. But not much a fan of sea food.

It is better since here the fish head is much more expensive

I am not surprised to hear that

According to other responses, people come from your country like eating it.

@youless Really I don't know it's popular here maybe in some provinces

There are less bones anyway

I know this diet habit is quite different in some places

We prefer to the fish with big heads.

Great

@youless better than that lol
