 JW> Even a little beluga can weigh in at 3000 to 3300 pounds.
 ML> Thank heaven for little whales.
 JW> Very tasty critters.

I know you said they tasted like beef, and what can be
bad with that? I'm still looking forward.

 GJ> cheek meat?  Best part.

People used to liken fish cheeks to scallops - smallish
roundish muscles. They're okay, rather firmer than a
scallop, nothing special.

"Like precious stones [they] derive their value from their scarcity." 

 GJ> My late wife used to split fish heads to get the brains.  Not

 JW> I've never eaten fish brains. But the opportunity will arise soon; the

Speaking of which.

Have you never closely investigated the insides of a fish
head? I'm rather surprised. Anyhow, the brain isn't anything
special, either. If it were, the fish wouldn't have been
caught, would it.

And no jealousy among the young ladies. Cool.

 JW> I knew a guy who once had a similar situation going on. He was a

What a heterocentric thing to say! I'm betting he had plenty
of fun, according to his lights.
