Today we cook a fine fish soup. The basis is a salmon head, which you can order directly online in the future.

A long time ago I had done an interview with a shaman and Angaangaq recommended to always process and eat fish whole. Therefore, I wanted to approach the topic once.

If you want to follow my lead, however, I must honestly add: The delicious salmon bake is rarely available in supermarkets. However, if you order online or make the luck at a fishmonger: the soup is a passport to extraordinary pleasure.

So, now we can also start cooking. A video shows the preparation in the garden. I wish you good luck and look forward to comments at the bottom of the page!

As already described in the introduction, the fish cheek is considered an absolute delicacy among connoisseurs.

In the nature of things lies: The bigger the fish head, the bigger the fish cheek. In the case of salmon, this is a precision landing, as can be seen in the following picture.
