Sea's humble relations are not to be frowned upon

Read about fish soup.

Two things come to mind.

A small taverna in Sikinos that had fish soup / stew on the menu.  But the only fish left was fish heads.  A tasty dish, but not that pleasant to look at.

In Greece the soup is often served in a bowl, and the fish and vegetables on a plate - so you get both a starter and a main course.  I hadn't realised that the soup would be served in this way, and ordered both fish soup and another main course.  The people in the taverna thought I was very hungry!  Now I always ask, when ordering fish soup, if it is just a small bowl of soup, or a bowl of soup and a plate full of fish and vegetables.
