Is there much meat to a fish head? It seems like there'd be a high bone to flesh ratio. There're Mexican restaurants around here that serve an entire fish intact, from head to tail, but I've never seen much benefit to that since I know I wouldn't be eating the tail.
More than youd think, with some careful chopstick surgery. But not enough for a meal. Perhaps thats why I also "ordered" (without intending to) this:

[devil’s advocate]1,300-year-old Kyoto shrine changes bell policy following altercation with foreign tourists【Video】
Shinto shrine tradition no longer possible for nighttime visitors.
I can't believe this. Is there a reason tourists can't use an ounce of common sense.
Plus theres no way they cleansed their hands in the right order, etc.1,300-year-old Kyoto shrine changes bell policy following altercation with foreign tourists【Video】

Exprain prease? I only have two hands. How do I cleanse one without cleansing the other at the same time?
The sign shows you exactly how! First, dipper in the right hand to pour the water over the left to wash and purify, then the other way round.
I first learned this sequence from my friendly Fukuoka half day bike tour guide lady. I thoughtfully neglected to ask her why we're even doing this.
So you're just a mindless follower of religion. I guess if they'd told you to jump off a bridge you'd have done that too? I've lost all respect for you.
They dont seem to demand a whole lot. They didnt ask that I drink someones blood, for example. I will say that when it got to the rinsing your mouth out with the shrine fountain water, I did pause for second and hoped that the water wasnt just recirculating.So you're just a mindless follower of religion.

My goodness, I posted a winkie to show I was just playing around and you went with taking a cheap shot. It could be I know more about the weirdness of Shinto than you do. Did they ask you to hold up an Iron Phallus? I could go in to much more of the weirdness but this isn't the thread for it.
Ha No. Unfortunately I wasnt handed the iron phallus. I am aware that Shinto can get pretty odd. I think the diversity and locality of it is kind of appealing. We should respect the unique spirit of each spot on the earth. Not that the Japanese themselves have stuck to that. They seem kind of bi polar about it. Shinto reminding us of particular trees, creeks, even rocks, while otoh development culture throws concrete at everything.
Real American men would find that fortunate. Durangodawood found it unfortunate. Duly noted. <smh>
I was going to say "Unfortunately I wasnt given the iron phallus." But that didnt sound quite..... right.
