Last Sunday I stopped by a Whole Foods. I think I’ve been in one maybe once or twice before. I was there mainly because I was looking for fish heads to make fish stock. You know, chicken for chicken stock, beef bones for beef stock? On a list I’m on, several people said they were able to get organic fish heads for $1/pound from the butcher at Whole Foods.
