Bluefish heads are great. The "tenderloins" in the top of the head and the cheeks are fabulous. Field mouse isn't bad either but they don't have a lot to offer. It would probably take more than two-dozen to make a decent meal for one person.
We were burning a brush-pile when the dog caught a field mouse that was trying to escape the heat. After allowing the dog to worry the poor little beast for a while I rescued it from certain death only to have it die in my hand.... so I roasted it over the fire and ate it - not bad at all... sweet, tender dark meat for what there was of it.
