Ancient people said that when eating fish, you must eat the fish head because it is the best part of the fish. Old people often say that in the past, when mountain bandits and robbers encountered someone, they would first starve them for a day and a night, and then give them a fish. They would see what the person eats first. If they eat the meat on the body of the fish first, it means they are farmers. If they eat the tail first, they are businessmen. If they eat the fish head and lips first, they must be wealthy officials because rich people are used to eating meat and get tired of many things they eat. Those bandits would question and demand money from those who ate the fish head first, and they would let the poor people go directly. This story is told to emphasize that not only is the fish head delicious, it is also more nutritious! Today, we will use the fish head to make a delicious home-cooked meal.
