But then on fish, if we filet, aren't we wasting too?
Ha! Soon after I got married my wife sent my Japanese MIL pics of a cooler packed full of filets I'd brought home and indicated to her that it was cod, her mom's favorite fish to cook and eat. She wrote back to Mrs. KG, "Oh, how nice that your husband brings back such things fresh from the ocean. But... where are all the heads? That's the very best part of the fish. And was there any roe? If so, surely he didn't just toss it in the ocean. He is half Japanese, isn't he?"
Was on a charter the other day, the clients asked if I fished after work, yes of course, sometimes. What is my favorite fish. They may have meant locally or in AK, but the answer is yellow or flathead catfish big enough to where I can get cheek meat off the cheeks.
Cod is VERY good though. Lots of fish are really good
Best to you, the Mrs, and the "kids"
