Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Stephen Ceideburg -split down the center
2 Scallions, white part only, 1 qt Water
-crushed with the side of a 1/2 c Canned sliced sour bamboo
-knife 1/4 Fresh pineapple, cut in a
Sprinkling of freshly ground -lengthwise section and
-black pepper -sliced
2 ts Salt 1 ds MSG (optional)
2 tb Plus 4 teaspoons fish sauce 2 tb Mixed chopped fresh
-(nuoc mam) -coriander (Chinese parsley)
1 lg Fish head or fish carcass, - and green scallions

An excellent way to get twice the pleasure out of your fish purchase.
You can use either the fish head or the fish carcass if you wish. To
the people of South Viet Nam, this is as much their traditional dish
as Southern Fried Chicken is to our southerners--and it will meet
with instant praise.

Sprinkle the scallions, black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 4
teaspoons fish sauce over the fish head. Allow to stand for 10 to 15
minutes.

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil and drop in the sour bamboo and
pineapple slices. Cook at a lively boil for 5 minutes. Drop fish
head into the actively boiling water and, keeping at a boil, add the
2 tablespoons fish sauce, remaining teaspoon salt, and a dash of MSG.
Boil the fish head for a total of 10 minutes. Transfer to a soup
tureen, sprinkle on the coriander and scallion green, and serve.

Note: If the fish head is dropped into water that is not boiling, it
will fall apart.

From "The Classic Cuisine of Vietnam", Bach Ngo and Gloria Zimmerman,
Barron's, 1979.

This is real good with chunks of catfish, shrimp, whatever...
