Fish
Head
Sailfish head yields cheeks, collar meat and stock. Not a boneless convenience cut, but high flavour. Clean gills if bitter, simmer or roast with aromatics, pick meat carefully. Central to many coastal broths. Save clean trimmings for stock, crumbs or compound butters when they suit the ingredient.
