fish head
Soup stock ingredient
The head of a fish, severed from the body.
Fish heads are used in cooking—for stock, soup, or as a delicacy in many cuisines: The market sells fish heads cheap.
In American slang, fish head can be a mild insult suggesting stupidity or strangeness, or a term for someone obsessed with fishing.
