>full fish
Best fish meal I've ever had was while backpacking the BWCA. Caught a fairly large northern.Gutted it, the plopped it on the fire grate. Salted it and let it cook. When the skin flaked off, it was done, and damn, was it delicious. Northern skin is pretty oily, so it sort of self-basted.

[Anonymous No.13511510]

>>13511483
no full fish is prepared with organs, its always gutted, scaled and de-gilled

but the skin is one of the best parts why do you want that removed? and in big fishes the cheek meat is succccculent AF

pic related is a SEA chinese/indian dish called fish head curry and its with the heads of big red snappers. Really tender flakey meat.

just eat the bones. they are tiny and fragile. crunch that shit up.

[Anonymous No.13511559]

>>13510873
>>13511494
it gets easier once you know which parts have the most bones (tummy and in the middle near the main vertebrae). The entire top spine/fin part can be pulled off and that will take away the entire line of small bones up there.

the area with the least/no bones are the upper half and lower part (not tummy)

why dont you worry about yourself a little bit more?
limiting yourself to filleting fish pre-cooking is just a plain display of ignorance. nobody is making you pick the cheeks if you dont want them.

[Anonymous No.13511815]

>>13511802
didnt say anything about the cheeks dipshit. you know you can cut those out too?

there is zero reason to cook a fish whole besides not having enough skill to fillet it. the extra meat you might get might equate to an extra mouthful.

>there is zero reason
are you actually able to back that up? if i were to turn this around: what reasons are there to fillet a fish? do you lack the skills to carve it after cooking? are you talking strictly restaurants? in that case i would be more inclined to agree but there are many - even first world! - countries that traditionally serve some fishes whole. and as far as reasons for cooking it whole go, not wanting to miss out on certain flavors is one example.
you probably are just baiting i guess? in that case you got me there.

>what reasons are there to fillet a fish?
you don't have to have your hands all over your food picking out bones
you won't accidentally ingest one if you happened to miss one picking them out
you don't have a mess of bones all over your plate
you can season the meat easier instead of just the cavity

do you eat the bones or something? do they have a lot of flavor? i've never tried because i don't have to ingest those extra 50 calories (smelt being an exception)

[Anonymous No.13512205]

>>13511946
with the right fish you just need to make one cut down the middle, lift the upper part up and you should be able to take out the whole spine in one piece
many people think that preparing it like that makes the fish more flavorful, you dont actually eat the bones (maybe in very small fishes like the other poster mentioned but that is the exception)
seasoning is definitely easier with a fillet but from my experience, with a good quality fish you just need some salt anyway which tastes just fine if you apply it tableside

Take a sea bass and fill it with a mixture of citrus juice and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make two to three cuts from top to bottom alongside the fish and fill those cuts with the same mixture.
Pop the thing in the oven for ~20m at ~180°C. Amuse your dumb Americattle brain with the fish giving you the Hitler salute as it gets baked. Laugh so hard that you almost miss the correct time to take the fish out, but that's okay. It's so forgiving, even the succesful result of an experiment of Lamarcian retroevolution can't fuck this up.

Take the fish out of the oven, put it on your plate and to eat it, simply slip a knife between the baked skin and the succulent meat to flip over the skin. Eat the flesh from the bones until you're done with one side, then take out the whole spine and eat the rest.

I recommend baked potatoes and a fresh salat to go with it, as well as chilled white wine. But if you're limited by your American faculties, use Dr Pepper and half a magazine of 9mm rounds delivered into your tummy.

Made a couple of grilled spanish mackeral recently whole.

Cut of the head and guy the fish, then fill with a special paste recipe I made.

Its 1tps coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3 cloves of garlic. Mash well in a mortar until paste. Add 1/4 cup or parley and 1/4 cup of dill with a tablesppon of lemon juice. Muddle that into your mixture until a smooth paste.

Coat the inside of the fish with your paste and put a pair of lemon slices into each one. Coat the outside of both fish in olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a grill at 325F for 20min.

Why would it make a difference if they fillet it before or after cooking? If anything doing it afterwards is more difficult as the flesh breaks much easier. Also fuck you, I like the eyes and skin. Quit pretending your picky childishness is a universal standard of the first world.
