About Fish heads
Fish heads are a nutrient-dense, flavorful part of the fish that are widely used in various global cuisines, including Asian, African, and Mediterranean dishes. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health, reduce inflammation, and promote heart health. Fish heads also contain high-quality protein, essential vitamins like A and D, and minerals such as iodine, calcium, and phosphorus. The gelatin in the head, particularly from the eyes and surrounding tissue, is beneficial for joint health and skin elasticity. While fish heads are a great source of nutrients, their cholesterol and fat content can vary depending on the species. Additionally, there may be concerns about mercury or toxin levels in some larger fish. Often used in soups, curries, or stews, fish heads are a sustainable and economical ingredient that adds depth of flavor while minimizing food waste.
