Dinner thread?

Correct, at least as far as fish heads go. I don't eat fish tail but my Chinese wife persuaded me to try fish head many years ago. Mainly Snapper as that species has some flesh on the cheeks. That meat is much sweeter than that from the flanks. Only trouble with enjoying that is getting your mouth and tongue around numerous sharp bones in there. Takes some skill to avoid getting stabbed inside the mouth. For that reason I only eat the cheeks occasionally but it is delicious. Wifey will use heads and tails in thin soup. Also very good. Have also tried fish eyes but don't find them anything special.
Speaking of duck, when I was still duck shooting wifey would stuff whole duck with Chinese stuffing and slowly wok cook
until meat was tender enough to pull from the bone. Most delicious duck I have ever eaten and I do enjoy duck cooked just about any way.

I am glad to know you enjoy the fish cheek and your wife `s cooking. The flesh under the cheek is always the best part, and then the belly, then the rest. In our culture, you can know if a kid or an adult has good family education or not, if they come from a rich tradition family or poor ones by watching them how they eat a fish over a dinner table. If they started from the belly without any concerns or respects to other people, then at least for me this will be the last dinner with him or her.

For the sniper head, I used to stew it, slow cook for 30 mins+ then the sharp bones will not be that sharp anymore. Fish eyes is good for kids and elderly, it `s no taste but it `s health. When I was in Auckland, I tried to roast a whole game duck, but the build in oven in the house was too low, should use outdoor wood fire oven which I did `t have. I saw so many meats either wasted or went to pet food factory, that `s why I am working on a project to recycle those fine stuffs into export earning for New Zealanders.

Thanks for like my cooking. Next time I will try to cook some deer guts if I could have any. Btw, comparing to 308, what `s the benefit of use 30.06 in NZ?
