Fish wings - Who's into em
I'd always chucked them out with the head until I went to W.A. and was shown what the locals do with them.

You'd be surprised how many Victorians take the fillets and chuck away the best parts of the fish.

I started doing this with flathead then quickly adopted it to all fish I keep.
One or two make a great snack the following day.

I changed the way I fillet fish just keep the wings. Wings & cheeks are the best bits, Larry you should keep the heads as well or at least take out the cheeks

Yeah when I bake them whole I mine the heads for nuggets but I'm guilty of leaving the head behind on some occasions.

Yeah, put a fair number of snapper wings into fish curries, where they go well.

Fish frames on a bbq hot plate have been a fav for years. A drizzle of simple oil, salt and pepper is all that's needed, but can add garlic and chilli if so desired. Crispy and delicious flesh, which goes down especially well with a cold beer. From memory I've done; snapper, southern bluefin tuna, spanish mackerel, coral trout, various emperor, freshwater trout and others for sure.

I'm not sure if you saw this vid in the other thread but its a pretty comprehensive look on how to break down a snapper into its edible parts |

Yep, seen it.
Particularly like the tip on removing wings from the gill apex. I'd managed it a few times by accident with a knife but wasn't paying enough attention to make a proper mental note and repeat with confidence. So, I'd been resorting to the use of poultry shears. |
