Anyone have a recipe! They're snapper heads if it makes a difference. Haven't been able to find much online.

Basically you boil the fish heads in water, salt and onions and celery till they are cooked (about 15mins but you can cook for longer) to create a stock. Drain the liquid into a bowl using a sieve to strain. If you want you can wait for the heads to cool and take out all the edible meat.
Bury the scraps in your garden.
Make fish soup/chowder from the stock. Do you require a recipe! I'm not good with recipes for these sorts of foods but I can give a general overview of what you should be doing.
You can also use the stock as a base to make sauces for fish instead.

Rick Stein’s 'Far Eastern Odyssey' series in Malaysia.
He makes a fish head soup in that episode with the help of a local.Great series, worth getting the dvds.

Cool thanks for that, very helpful. I can figure it out from there, I was just wondering what the best way was to get rid of the scales, gills etc - so that makes perfect sense, cheers.
