About Fish head
Fish heads are a nutrient-dense ingredient commonly used in various cuisines worldwide, including Asian, African, and Caribbean dishes. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B6 and B12, and essential minerals like phosphorus and selenium, fish heads contribute to brain health, heart function, and immunity. The gelatin-rich tissue around the bones and cheeks contains collagen, which supports skin health and joint function. Many dishes, such as curries, soups, and stews, highlight the deep, flavorful broth fish heads can create. While their fat content depends on the type of fish, they are generally considered healthy when steamed, baked, or simmered rather than fried. As a sustainable choice, incorporating fish heads helps minimize food waste. However, potential allergens like bones and mercury levels in larger fish should be considered for those with dietary restrictions or sensitivities.
