Who /nose to tail/ here?
It's kind of a dumb meme term for something that has existed since the beginning of time. But I've always done this. It seems kind of weird that it fell so out of fashion with the baby boomers that gen x and y had to come up with a term to describe it's resurgence.

You making some sort of broth? That's about all the use I see out of those bits.

Fried fish bones are an edible, tasty and healthy snack.

Love fried fishbones.
"Nose to tail" cooking is just what it's called in the Anglosphere. To the rest of us, it's just called "cooking."
It's because people from all the world's Anglo cultures (and honourarily Anglo ones, like Ireland and South Africa) just don't know anything about cooking.

This. Almost everywhere this is just part of cooking. Nowhere else is nearly as fucking disgracefully wasteful. Plus a lot of the best flavors are to be found in the 'garbage' parts of food.

I guess I am, but it's mostly because a lot of the bits of things people don't use are fucking delicious and/or great for stock.
Same for vegetables. A lot of them have leaves/roots/whatever that are edible and delicious but not commonly used. Carrot leaves, for instance, are flavorful as hell and make great pesto. Corn silk and cobs are fantastic additions to stocks. So much useful shit from vegetables gets tossed. Even from fruit- if you're careful you can get some insane flavors from the pits of stone fruits.
