• Turn the heads over, then add the wine. Let it bubble for a minute, then add the tomatoes with their juice. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Cook at a gentle simmer for 15 minutes.
• Remove the heads from the pan. Using a spoon, scoop out any meat on the cheeks, around the collar and on top of the head and set it aside. Remove and discard any large bones. Put the remainder of the heads in a food mill fitted with a coarse disc. Force the juices and pulp through the mill into the pan.
• Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens. Add the reserved pieces of fish, stir, and cook for 5 more minutes.
