You don't put fish heads in borscht. Ever. Depends who makes it! If you go anywhere along the Danube from Moswerbau Austria to Sulina Romania and then along the Black Sea coast to the Aral Sea, in every village it is guaranteed to find a different recipe. Fish heads -carp heads specifically- are used in the recipe in Ismail-Ukraine and Mahmudia-Romania. Sturgeon parts are used in the rest of the Delta and so on. Everybody calls is something different but is all fish sour soup. fish sour soup is not a borshch... borshch is a soup with beets and cabbage. broth can be made with meat or bones, not fish!!!

I lived for a couple years in the Danube's Delta and I was dealing with people from Ismail. Kahul, Tulcea, Galati and was often invited to their Holiday's feasts in the summer. Typicaly we would go in the water, set the nets while somebody was starting boiling the rest: vegetables and such. We would bring the catch back to shore, clean it and throw it in the boil, heads and all. I was explained that this was actually the traditional way of the fisherman that fled the russian empire durring Peter the Great's reign and that's the way they were honoring their ancestors. I don't know if they lied or made fun of me but since it happened in a few different places I'd have to think it is true. And they all called it "borsh"! Fish soup called UHA. And borshch is Ukrainian soup, Russian soup is sh-chi. Made with cabbage without beets. Someone was pulling your leg. Unless there something I don't know about Danube's delta. Got to withdraw after googled: Ukrainian borscht with smetanaBorshch is a vegetable soup made out of beets, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, dill.[1][2] There are about 30 varieties of Ukrainian borscht.[2] It may include meat or fish.[1]

I was living amongst fisherman maybe that's why they always used fish. Ismail and Kahul are in southern Ukraine, Tulcea, Galati are in SE Romania but most of them had as first language Ukrainian and we called them Kahols or Lipovan.

Why don't you check out the Terminals down by Packer Street (by the Stadiums)?
Or just Google seafood wholesale Philadelphia. I did and came up with several. Or find a seafood store (not restaurant). One near me in Bucks County is Hesh's Seafood

One near me in Bucks County is Hesh's Seafood I had checked them on Packard, they sell whole fish, not even cleaned and IF you pay for cleaning all they do is gut it. I know Hesh's as well, got to call them and ask, thanks homie
