Oysters, Sushi and Sashimi

I have to say it's a strange looking fish head soup, especially to see eggplant being used as one of the ingredients, perhaps it's used by some remote provinces.
But it's true that the meat inside the cheeks is very good.

Hi sweetie,
You might start with vegetable roll for a warm-up! Then, the 3 basics that a few have mentioned — salmon, tuna and yellowtail — are excellent for sushi-beginners. They're mild, even faintly sweet. The California roll is also popular & easy to eat but I don't quite remember the ingredients . . . like a vegetable roll with a little tuna or something . . . maybe someone more expert here can help on that?
I have a question: what's good to move up to from there? I've had the aforementioned foods but am curious about what else there is. What else in the sushi universe is good for folks who are relatively new to it?
(don't know about the fish head soup . . . "ain't never ordered soup" as the Basque would say . . )

It does look strange to you? I didn't know what was in the soup. This was the first picture I found of it.
It might be better if maybe they pulled the fish cheeks out first and then placed it in the soup and left the head out of it? I have problems looking at animals staring at me as I eat them. Ugh.

I have no idea whether it is legitimate Chinese cuisine or not, but it may also be one of the dishes from the remote provinces. It looks spicy, though, and I'm not fond of it. From my limited knowledge of cooking, I don't think pulling out the cheeks first is an option, the head has to be cooked in one piece if it is soup.
Back on topic, yeah, I like sashimi and sushi.
