Yes, fish do have cheeks, and many consider the cheek to be the best part of the fish!

The halibut season has just begun and, while halibut fillet prices are still sky-high, the cheeks are more reasonably priced. You probably already know how meaty and flavorful Alaskan halibut is. The cheeks are even sweeter. They look somewhat like scallops, but they have a texture similar to that of chicken. They can be grilled, roasted, or pan-seared. These days halibut is strictly managed by the Pacific Halibut Commission. Seafood Watch rates it a "Good Alternative," and it is MSC certified (Marine Stewardship Council). Kosher.
