Add Step-by-Step Photos	Tinabeans / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago My mom made this homey favorite for me when I was little, and this is the version I adapted for college living.

Ingredients

1 white-meat fish head (ask the seafood counter at any supermarket for one -- sometimes they'll give it to you for free!)

1 lb white meat fish fillet (I used tilapia)

a 2" long knob of ginger, sliced thinly

2 spring onions, chopped

4 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped

6 cups water

1/2 teaspoon each salt and white pepper (adjust to taste afterwards)

Directions

Place the ginger, salt, pepper, and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Add the fish head. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and fish (sorry =P) out the head and discard it.

Meanwhile, cut the fillets into 2" pieces. Turn the heat back on. Add the fish fillets to the simmering. Cook 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Add spring onions and cilantro. Simmer for a minute more and turn off the heat. Adjust taste with salt and white pepper. You're done!

Looks great and I am sure it tastes good too. I really wish all the students who have the time and facilities try to cook for themselves rather than eating some crap served in the canteen. Kudos to you for that!

Sounds good, but what is the purpose of cooking the head? Is there that much taste from it? I grew up (lived more like it) on fish (walleye, pike, muskie) and my Dad had the best beer batter fried fish! No, I don't have the recipe, much to my disgust! But, he never cooked the head. I'm just curious what the head does for the soup.
