Top right in pan and bottom center of pan are the cheeks of Ling. Oh so so gooooood.
Never had a ling Jeremy but heard they’re mighty tasty, I can only image what their cheek meat tastes. Damn, I absolutely love fish. Like haddock a lot but heard they’re even better.

Trout cheeks are also great food.Ever try walleye cheeks?
Like the fillet mignon of fish.
Next time you are cleaning a walleye, check it out.
Nice little nugget of meat on the side of their face. Carefully Cut these out with a flexible blade. Remove the skin and you are set.
Takes a bunch, but it’s a tasty treat from something that would otherwise be scrapped
I’m wondering if other fish have these? Never thought about it before.

Yup. The lingcod in my avatar had them removed and they were really good. The funky thing was the guy filleted my fish and removed the cheeks after he put them on the table with my fish both cheeks flexed in unison laying on the table. Kind of freaky.
Like watching frog legs cook???

Halibut cheeks are sold by good fishmongers and some Sushi places sell different varieties of cheeks. Always the best part of any fish.

My brothers and I have always harvested bluefish cheeks along with the fillets. Five of us filling the cooler with fish, 2 cheeks per fish, gave us enough to make a small pile of cheeks. These would be batter dipped and deep fried for a fish and chips appetizer.

Howdy Ben. Never had a walleye cheek meat. I really like beef cheek meat,, makes a wonderful sandwich. I'm guessing that you've never had the fillet from the top of a catfish head. Smaller catfish just don't have a big enough head but from 12 to 14 lbs up that piece grows on the head & it's a really tasty treat.

Oh yes I love walleye I used to catch them in the Fox river just North West of Chicago
I,ve been wanting to go on the Columbia river in Oregon to catch some. Maybe this spring and cheeks are really good
