Abstract: A decorative fish head mold for use as a replacement for a fish's head when serving and/or cooking a fish includes a hollow elongate body defining an interior compartment. The body has a forward or distal end configured to the appearance of a fish head, and an open rear end communicating with the interior compartment for receiving a body of a fish therein. In accordance with the method of this invention, the head of a fish is removed, and if desired, the body of the fish is filled with a stuffing. Thereafter the body of the fish, either stuffed or unstuffed, is inserted into the open rear end of the decorative fish head mold, and is thereafter cooked and/or served as a unit with the fish head mold.
