About Milk fish head
Milk fish head is a prized ingredient in Southeast Asian and Pacific Island cuisines, particularly in Filipino dishes like sinigang (a tangy soup) and paksiw (fish cooked in vinegar). Known locally as "bangus," milk fish is revered for its tender meat and rich flavor. The fish head, often overlooked in other cuisines, is nutrient-dense, containing essential omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health and brain function. It also provides a good source of protein, calcium, and collagen, which are beneficial for bone and skin health. However, consumers should note the naturally high fat content, which, while largely healthy fats, can be a concern in excessive amounts. Milk fish head is a versatile, flavorful, and nutrient-packed addition to various culinary traditions, perfect for soups, stews, or grilling. Cleaning and cooking it properly is important to minimize its small, delicate bones while maximizing its health benefits.
