On larger fish, the meat can contain several portions of edible meat. The cheeks may be particularly prized for their texture and flavor, but there is a lot of meat on the collar, head and cheeks. In the United States they tend to be used mainly for stocks.
In many island cuisines, Fish Heads are a very affordable delicacy. The meat of the cheek, the collar and the top of the head can provide edible portions for several people with a texture that is much more delicate than the filets - particularly the cheek muscles. They are used in Caribbean curries, Sardinian soups and stews, and a delicious fiery Senegalese Gumbo. They are also indispensable for a rich, gelatinous stock used in many cuisines.
