Making Greek Fish Soup with the Heads?

[voula_slat]

I was just reminiscing in another thread about how my family would use the fish heads (less expensive at the fish market when they were immigrants) to make Greek Fish Soup. I don't remember how my family made it!

I don't remember if they maybe made the broth first, took out what meat the could from the fish, and then added there fish if they could find it?

Has anyone made fish soup using the heads of the fish?

I haven't done that but it would make sense that you can use the heads to make a broth. I would personally cook the heads first in the oven for thirty minutes. I think that might make a richer broth - but I could be wrong!
