I'm reminded by recent postings on tacos and terried sake of a question I've harbored for a while: what are fish cheeks, collars, and loins?
 
I've imagined that collars and cheeks are roughly equivalent, and that loin is actually belly or toro, but really I have no idea.
 
Are there other synonyms for these terms? I have seen collars only on Japanese menus for example, and wonder if other cuisines don't feature the same anatomical part under other rubrics; or perhaps fish is cut or filleted differently in different culinary traditions.
