Steamed Sheeps head

[Hardy Boy]

Well we were BS'ing on the Zoom call about Cedros and sheeps head came up which reminded me I still have some in the freezer. Last night I cooked up a pack and it was delicious. The Mrs said it was too much fish but there was not much for left overs! Steamed the fillets in a bamboo steamer with ginger and green onions (20 mins) and served it on rice with a ginger/garlic/ hoisen/saracha/sesame seed oil sauce and topped toasted sesame seeds. Simple good and healthy.

Cheers:

You had me worried when you said Sheeps head rather than sheephead!

Sheephead (Semicossyphus pulcher):  

Sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus):     

Sheep Head (Disgustigus Icelandi):

Our Easter tradition we had them split and baked when I lived in Italy.
I could never eat them, but did have the brain with dome lemon juice.
If I try to do something like that today, my wife would kick me out🙂

0k that looks interesting but it's not steamed! Let's start a new roasted Sheep's head recipe.

When I grew up in NY most of the pizzerias sold baked sheep head.  We would pick at them, but I could not eat the eyeballs.  They are quite good.  The brains, tongue and cheeks were delicious.  If you put garlic and oregano on anything it would taste good.  Dominick

when I just saw the thread tittle I though about the "real deal" of Sheep head plate aka mexican Barbacoa or Birria.

when you talk about tacos you can never leave the Birria tacos out of the menu.
they are made out of cow or sheep or lamp, the recipe is the same, just different flavor of the meat.
its normal to see the whole head of the animal on the big cooking pot or even in the table, the cheff cook the whole animal but have special time to "open" the head and separate the tongue, eyeballs, cheeks, lips, brain and neck meats on separated containers so you can pick that meat and taste it on a plate or on a taco.

PS: my favorite are the eyeballs tacos

Todd - That looks great!  I've cooked a lot of things in my little bamboo steamer basket but never thought of fish until seeing your post.  It's on the "todo" list now! - john

Ok enough of the reel sheeps heads !! Must be Asian inspired cooking week at our house because my wife made this last night. Thai red curry spot prawns (caught in March see thread) on noodles. Very tasty ............... getting kind of healthy around here ........ might have to have a big steak or plate of ribs soon!!

Todd, the prawns look great,   I'll bet they are sweet and don't need lots of hot sauce?  Thanks.
    You have a nice touch with your pictures too. 👍
