Much of the world, particularly in Europe, South America and Asia use fish heads as a soup base. There's more flavor and meat than we get from animal bones for broth.
Grocery stores used to have the same attitude, and threw such things away. If you were in the know you could ask for the fish heads and get them for free. Once that happened a few too many times someone realized they could make a buck off of it....

What do you use fish heads for? Is that what you use as chum when you go out with Captain Quint looking for trouble?
Please don't tell me that you put them in stews. The thought of a fish eye in a soup bowl is just too much. I don't like it when my food looks at me.
Otherwise, I appreciate the sense of humor, aesthetics and creativity at the fish counter at Shaw's.

The more pressing question is, does the price include the lemon slice?
