The fish of my dreams

[Sangogo]

They say the eyeballs are the best part. . . that and the cheeks of the fish.

Can't say much for the eyes, but the head has a lot of meat and I don't mind picking at it until it's nothing but a skull.

Nothing beats the cheek meat from the tuna we catch

 

[jeffb3t]

You got that right! There is lots of meat on the cheek. Usually I save the heads and carcass for soup.

My wife cooks the head of Buri (sp) not sure what the english name is. I really like it. Your fish was awsome Jeff. I wrapped it in foil with osaki-butter-Ms Dash-and a slice of lemon and threw it on the grill. Was better than beef.

You are probably right about the eyes...maybe. Hopefully next time I will have space in the freezer to keep a chunk for myself and not be in a hurry to get rid of it before it spoils. I have had a a few times before and nothing compares.
