Share my fish head

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope everything is swell today.  How's your health?  Please stay healthy for me.  I want you to know that I love you.  You are MY girl.

Do you like fish?  I'm guessing that you like fish served in familiar ways, but you don't like tuna casserole.  I love fish, especially if I can afford it.  Fish also has a high labor cost though, so I try to stick to the low labor recipes.  I took my mother to the hospital this morning, after that we went to the supermarket.  They always have nice fish heads, so I got one.  I love fish heads!  Actually it was half a fish head, but it was big and made for a great dinner.  I cooked the fish head in my home made hot sauce with bitter beans, and I'm happy to report it was a success.  I ate it with steamed rice.  A fish head is a messy meal, so I started on it with a fork and spoon pulling out the easy parts like the meat behind the head, the liver and soft roe.  When that was done, I had used up the rice so I finished the meal with my fingers.  Oh, the gelatinous texture of the lips!  Oh, the cheek meat!  But my favorite part is the meat behind the eyes.  Oh no, it's only half a fish head so there's only one eye!  It's so good, though.  You must try it.  Here, you can have it.
