I can understand that part of it as most cleaning facilities have an smell that does not induce ones appetite for the source of that smell. I save them for me, my wife does not like them only because they have a different texture than the fillets. I cannot tell you why as she only uses that as the reason she does not like them, so I go with the old saying Happy Wife Happy Life an I do not push the subject!
That's pretty funny but likley true. If you have to smell fish guts all day you probably do not want fish for dinner. lol
I am with you on the cheeks I like them the best they are firmer and have a different texture, plus they taste great. I would almost trade fillets for cheeks.. Yes Happy wife Happy life.
