When I clean fish I save the head, fins, (execpt the dorsal fins on the spiky species) and tails. I boil them up in a pressure cooker and this makes them very soft, it also seperates the meat from the bones. Then, I either give this to my dogs to eat or put it into a compost pot. When its finished the bones make great calcium for plants in the garden. The guts and other parts I either put down the cleaning station or bury them if there isn't one. If I don't clean the fish until I get home I put the other remains in the compost pot too.
You can actually make your own compost pot. Its pretty easy and cheap. They are great for table scraps, fruit/vegetable remains too, basically everything. If you want look at this link:
