Dad used to catch perch sometimes much to mom's dismay- too bony and lots of work.
My mother used to make fish soup that included the heads, meat bits and egg sacks. The heads were not the part I ate but loved those eggs. At the cottage one summer day I sat with an aunt who relished sucking the eyes and whatever meat was on the bony fish head, me asking her where the brain was, I more scientist at that age than gourmand.
My mother said she nearly drowned in the Danube, after the war while they were waiting to leave as DPs.
