Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Table of Contents

In this section, I will be showing how to cook fish head soup with different ingredients. Actually the steps is about the same, just that the ingredients is different.

Fish head is well know for its high collagen, protein and carbohydrates, thus is good for complexion.
Because fish head has more fish oil compared to the rest of the “fish parts” thus it has high omega-3 and DHA, whihc is good for brains and eyes.


There is no particular fish for the dishes I have prepared, but the common fish head I always use is threadfin, salmon and song fish. Because all this fish, their head are quite big enough to make a tasty soup.

Normally I buy whole fish for the whole week meal, so it comes with fish head (obviously, hahaha).
If buying the whole fish head is not your routine, you can just buy only fish head off the shelve at the fish sections.
