After cooking, the fishhead looks not very different from what it was.
The fishhead looks intact, on the surface. However, once you use a spoon (or something like that) to try to remove it onto to a plate, for example, you'll see that the fishhead actually has decomposed into parts.
I eat all I can from the cooked dish, including the soup, the Tin Mah, the Kei Ji and any meat/tissues of the fishhead as long as they are edible (of course not including the bones).
Please be extra careful of the bones. Eat slowly in small sips.
One of the photos shows the central part of the head after cooking. I guess that's the main cerebral bone. (I'm not a biologist; so I may be wrong in my terminology.) That strong-looking bone can also be broken into parts with just a little bit of force. Since I've heard that it's the central part of the fishhead which is most useful, I would also eat any meat/tissues that remain attached to that bone. (Much has been dissolved into the soup, though.) Again, be very very careful with the bones.
The little white round thing in a spoon comes from the eye. I don't eat it, of course.
I guess that's all I have to say about cooking and eating the fishhead soup. If I go on any further, I would surely sound like a grandmother (if I don't sound like one already).

I'll continue to update this blog with anything I think is relevant.

Thank you for coming to my blog.This is what animal?
ReplyDeleteAre you referring to the photos of this post? It's fishhead after double-boiling. 燉過後的大魚頭.
