Oh good lord. I looked it up:

Stargazy pie (also starry-gazy pie, starry-gaze pie)[1] is a Cornish dish made of baked pilchards (sardines), along with eggs and potatoes, covered with a pastry crust. Although there are a few variations using other types of fish, the unique feature of stargazy pie is fish heads (and sometimes tails) protruding through the crust, so that they appear to be gazing to the stars.

I bet it's pretty good. If the fish are small enough they can usually be eaten whole and there's no strange taste from the head. In Japan there's a small smelt that gets grilled or fried and is intended to be eaten whole (often served with a bit of mayo).
