fishhead
Broth flavoring leftover
A fishhead is the head of a fish, typically removed during cleaning and used for stock or discarded.
In some cuisines, fishheads are prized: fishhead curry is a signature dish in Singapore.
As slang, fishhead is a derogatory term for a stupid person or, in some contexts, an ethnic slur against Asian people.
