This should be illegal.

[Anonymous No.14424357]

Why is the eye white I don’t like it it’s staring at me why isn’t it cooked and glazed like normal fish it needs to stop looking at me why did you post this op wow no

When you order beef they don't just slap a cow on your plate.

[Anonymous No.14424362]

>Covers the plate in feathers from a plant

Yikes

[Anonymous No.14424368]

>>14424361
I think a whole cow would be a little big to put on a plate, and probably out of my price range.

[Anonymous No.14424377]

>>14424368
Yes it would certainly be an unpleasant surprise just like a whole fish.

[Anonymous No.14424379]

>>14424377
Only if I didn't know the price beforehand for some reason. I think it would be a pretty pleasant surprise if I got a whole cow for the price of a steak or something.

If you go to a restaurant it will specify on the menu if it's a whole fish. You're just being a faggy bro, stop it.

They don't.

its cooked, dummy. Thats what steamed dish looks like

imagine being such a big fucking soybaby you cant handle a nice tender steamed fish. Your ancestors would be utterly disappointed in you

[Anonymous No.14424398]

does it say anywhere you will recieve a filet?

[Anonymous No.14424400]

>>14424362
those are lime leaves

this is laos/thai cooking

[Anonymous No.14424403]

>>14424397
If I want to "handle" a fish, I'll catch it myself. If I go to a restaurant and pay good money, I don't expect to also have to do their job.

[Anonymous No.14424405]

I don't see the issue here. If I'm buying fish at a restaurant, a whole fish would be far better than just a filet. Fish cheeks are excellent, and a whole fish means more fish to eat.

a whole fish is actually far more premium than mystery fish fillets, stupid

with a whole fish you can tell that the fish is exactly what you ordered + the freshness of it

and its obviously already scaled and gutted so its just not being a retard and knowing how to eat whole fish

its common for many dishonest restaurants (yes even in the US/euro) to substitute cheaper fish for more expensive ones and its hard to tell in a fish fillet especially if its battered and fried to shit

[Anonymous No.14424417]

>Fish cheeks
truly a man of taste
this is the best part, the flesh is very fine and tender

[Anonymous No.14424419]

>its hard to tell in a fish fillet especially if its battered and fried to shit
Isn't this pretty damning? What reason is there to pay for expensive ass fish if cheaper ones taste just as good (when they're cooked that way obviously)?

[Anonymous No.14424421]

>>14424413
you never eaten roasted whole chicken before?

[Anonymous No.14424427]

>>14424419
>cant read

no, its an issue because they are CHARGING you the prices for the expensive fish

so instead of paying $12.99 for cod you are paying $12.99 for tilapia and they tell you its cod or whatever

[Anonymous No.14424428]

>>14424415
>and its obviously already scaled and gutted
It's usually not.

So once again it's Americans ruining everything for everyone.

What kind of shitty restaurants are you ordering fish from?

>Menu doesn't specify if it's an entire fish
>Fish comes with the scales still on and entrails intact

I think you're just full of shit my fren.

[Anonymous No.14424434]

>>14424428
>It's usually not.
t. has never eaten fish served like this before

why are you lying?
the fish in OP's fish is already scaled and gutted, you can tell because there is a cut under the head and how the skin is broken

>>14424431
ok enjoy being scammed then

[Anonymous No.14424448]

>>14424427
tilapia tastes like absolute shit. If they can somehow make it not taste like shit to the point that I can't tell that it's tilapia and not cod, I don't even care if they're charging cod prices for it.

[Anonymous No.14424450]

>>14424427
No, I get that that's a problem. Just speaking tangentially, it seems like there's no reason to buy a cod fillet if you can get tilapia fillet for less.

[Anonymous No.14424453]

>>14424433
There are fishing villages with restaurants listed on Michelin guide near where I live and I've literally never seen it mentioned on the menu that it's an entire fish even if it is.

[Anonymous No.14424461]

>>14424448
it doesnt have to be tilapia, you know
it could be anything else

>im okay if they scammed me as long as I dont know
cuckery

>>14424450
its not an issue if the prices reflect this
but they dont
its actually a big problem, just YT it

[Anonymous No.14424469]

>>14424453
and is it mentioned that it's a plain fillet? if not whats ur point?

No.
>if not whats ur point?
Eating whole fish is annoying and I don't want to do the restaurants job. There's no acceptable reason to serve a whole fish.

[Anonymous No.14424478]

>>14424461
Wait is cod an expensive fish now? Why? I use it for bait because it's shit.

[Anonymous No.14424487]

>>14424476
did you provide the fish? did u gut the fish? did u cook/bake/fry the fish?
or by ,,doing the restaurant's job" are you reffering to cutting and eating the fish? maybe u want your mother to still do it for you?
jesus these people

[Anonymous No.14424489]

>>14424355
Fish taste much better when cooked whole. OP is a faggot.

[Anonymous No.14424519]

>>14424355
I don't see a problem here. They usually steam fish that are easy to eat off from the bone like groupers or snappers, don't they? And if the fish is fresh and steamed properly, a slide of the fork will just push the meat off the bone like butter

you could always just ask if this is a whole fish, but yes I wouldnt put a fish head and tail on that plate, this presentation is a little antiquated.

You've never been served a whole fish in your life.
Being served fish that hasn't been scaled and gutted before cooking and serving would be like being served a roasted chicken with its guts and feathers still attached.
I've worked in many kitchens serving whole baked/en papillote/pan fried fish, and have never once seen one as you describe.
Why are you so full of shit?

Fun fact: Fish & chips isn't British, it was actually the invention of jewish immigrants.
Hardly surprising that jews would invent a method of cooking that can easily be used to rip off unsuspecting goyim.

I think they should at least take the head and tail and fins off, the parts that aren't tasty...

No head, no tail, no fins, no bones... so, basically, you just want a fillet.

most european countries are notorios for the last half century or more of their streets being filled with theiving pick pockets, but we're suppose to expect the same culture produced respectable business people? its even worse now with violent mudslimes, no way I'd eat in your shitty restuarantes, theres probably shit in everything.
