Rosh Hashana - Fish/Lamb Head

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has any good sources for Jewish food
culture, specifically surrounding the tradition of eating a head on
Rosh Hashana. Those who follow the Ashkenazi customs generally use
Fish head, whereas those that follow the Sephardic customs usually use
a lamb or goat head.

I was hoping someone would have some kind of source for the symbology
and traditions (and how it evolved perhaps) of this particular piece
of culinary tradition.

Thanks,
Shaya
