Well Ted, I thought I might be the only round eyed pale skin thr loved fish head soup, and then I found you. That looks delicious.
I have 6 heads off 4-11lb rainbows out of the lake in front of my house that are hitting the simmering pan right away.

Well for quick and easy, do what Ted did in a big stock pot with butter, onions, garlic, salt and pepper and then cover them in water and simmer it into stock. Take the heads out after a few hours and pull all then meat out of the cheeks, the back of the head and under the jaw. Don't forget the "sweet meats". Put that back in the broth. Shred some carrot and cabbage (I like bok choy) to add to the soup, and corn can make it sweeter. Boil up some vermicelli or rice noodles. Add and flavor to taste with fermented soy (miso) or soy sauce and oyster or fish sauce. I like lemon grass in it too. Add together and feast like a king. It's awesome!
Oh! MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE GILLS! They make everything extremely bitter! And don't forget to eat the tongue. It's a Personal favorite.

But when the average incomes for professional jobs start at six figures for guys in the 20's, it more than balances out.
If I ever end up buying in the south in the future, it will be Vancouver Island, about the only place I could handle.

Hunting is horrible here, the air smells, people fart alot, I hear the main land is nice though!

My father lives on the island and I've spent a couple years in the gulf islands. I do agree the hunting's very limited, the air smells like iodine/ocean, but there is no way the people could fart more than the 6'5 260lb rig guys up here!
Hi Darryl,
Just fry em up in a little oil, salt and pepper. Do the cut side until nicely browned, turn, cover the pan, and cook until cheeks are done, and let us know how you like them.
rem338win has given you about as good a recipe for the soup as you'll find.

Here's one that is almost exactly the recipe I use. The main difference is I use canola oil instead of butter, and the ingredients in my recipe are half of what this recipe calls for.

That's right, half as much made the huge loaf you see in the picture. Fed nine people, and everyone ate plenty. I also put chunks of cheese in it, and most often use 100% whole wheat flour. The secret is to knead the dough much longer than most call for or do. We kneaded this one for a full twenty minutes the first time, and about five minutes the next two times before braiding it.

Thanks Ted. I've printed out a copy, for Sylvias benefit. Now, let's see what materializes, on Valentines day.
