Eating A Fried Tilapia Fish And Otoliths

I have eaten fried fish heads for many, many years. The fried fish head especially of Tilapia is the one I love best. If well seasoned and fried, the whole fish and its head are a great protein source. Fried fish is sold in most areas in Ghana especially in market areas, restaurants, local corner stores and by street corners. But in eating the fried fish head attention should be paid to the fish stones known as otoliths which when bitten into can damage ones teeth. Depending on how old the fish is the fish stones -otoliths can be very big. These otoliths look like ivory and can be used in jewelry making in certain parts of the world.
