Don’t toss out those fish heads. Soup! Salads! Grilled! You can make great meals out of what many people toss out. Chef Tony shows you how the head of the fish is not only useable, it is actually one of the best parts of the fish. Fish stock, fish salad, or a grilled meal in itself – it’s all possible, and on top of that, it’s extremely cheap to get at the fish market. What do you think – Delicious? Gross? Would you eat fish heads? Have you? Share your opinion with us. Ciao!

My cats eat anything I don't.
Bravissimo ! Grazie!
It looks like the liver is in the head area — is that edible?? And that tubular thing — I think that is a part you said leads to the stomach and is edible, but mushy? Sorry for all the questions, but I don't want to get sick ingesting something that I shouldn't. 🙂 Thanks so much for the previous reply!!
I love this video — but I have one complaint: You did not show cleaning the heads. You said you discarded what you didn't want, but I don't know what I should get rid of besides gills.
Tony please show me tuna, fish head soup
Thanks Chef Tony
Thanks Tony. I will be a new angler, come Spring, and was watching videos on how to fillet. I was surprised by how many fisher waste this (although maybe I shouldn't be). You can see the amount of meat in the head! My 12 year old daughter said, "no way" to the eyeballs 😉
Thank you. Just de gilled and cleaned 7 Black Sea bass heads and bones. Adding Stock and heads to my palette. Fun stuff. Got to celebrate the whole fish or animal. Sign of a true chef knowing how to make it all fantastic.
Love fish heads! Love the eyeballs. Your daugher rocks! Love the meat and fat behind the eyeballs. Tons of great flavor and meat in a fish head. Its funny that the vast majority of Americans are absolutely mortified about eating a fish head, but their failure to celebrate the fish head means more for the true fish lovers!
Amazing stuff
Thanks for the video. I think it would be great if you could also show how to clean the fish and what parts needs to be thrown out before cooking.
How did you prepare the fish heads
I love fish head!!! My favorite part of the fish.
Just subscribed!!!
You really dropped the ball for not playing fish heads song.
Throwing away the heads is stupid because not only do heads make great bait and chum u can make fish stock with it too no reason to waste any of the fish. I think I depends on the fish on what I do with it.
this dude needs more subscribers now
in my traditional market I often took free discarded pieces of fish like fish head, fish innards, shrimp head etc for my cats … I am thinking of making fish soup or fish bone broth.
I loved it..
Around here in Pakistan no one likes to eat fish heads but now I do ❤❤
Anther fish you probably wouldn't want to use…. Catfish ?
Very good video.. thank you for sharing.
I would also add udon or rice noodles to the broth/soup along with a little soy sauce.
went searching for a recipe for fish head soup, but specifically wanted to see the cleaning process to avoid scales and such.
