Roasting a tuna head

“Eat them up, YUMMMM”

Great job! Fishheads are great! If you love fish, you know. The cheek is the “oyster”. Well done! Hope you ate the eyes and tongue.

Simply amazing pics.

That looks surprisingly tasty. I agree, the cheek is the best part. When I used to go fishing in Florida on party boats, the crew would cut off the heads and throw them away. Grouper cheeks are delicious.

How does the eye, orbital fat, and ocular muscles taste? What other part of the head is good? I don’t think I would like the strong tasting darker muscle.

The eye and the orbital fat tastes a lot like bone marrow. Andrew Zimmern, in his video, talks about it tasting fishy, but I didn’t get that.

Aside from the cheeks, I really liked the meat at the top of the head and, of course, the collar, but there wasn’t anything I didn’t like except for the darker meat that’s rich in blood and had too strong of a taste for me.
