Who refuses to do this? I ordered some the other day and it came out whole. I didn’t eat it cause it just looks unappealing. People were making fun of me, but I am not eating something that is looking at me.

Lighten up, Francis. The fish is dead. It won't fight back.

I'm not a child, so I will gladly eat a fish served whole.

Whole fish almost always tastes better than fileted fish.

This take is terrible.

Some of the best fish dishes I have ever had were whole

A sea bass whole is great

I like Amalfi in Las Vegas, pick your whole fish right off the ice and get them to cook it up whole for you with some lemon butter and capers. can't imagine not loving that

Whole fish is the best. Why’d you order it if you dont like it prepared that way? The menu will always list it as whole if it is served that way

The whole roasted fish at Peche is delicious.



So is the Creole whole fried redfish at Gris-Gris.



I love whole fried catfish and bream. They don't usually have the eyes, so maybe you could handle those.

If I can catch it whole I can eat it whole. You deserve to get teased for this.

$85 tricking dollars for a whole grilled redfish there.

Several Thai places do great whole fish dishes. Peche is awesome, but pricy.

Also Sahuayo in Gonzales does a whole fried redfish with Diablo sauce that is legit

Whole fish is intimidating to some, but if I ever go a restaurant that has whole fish on the menu, it's what I'm ordering.

It's very generous in size and usually ordered as a shared course. I think we shared it with 4 people last time, along with sides and small dishes. Plenty of food.

Almost every animal cooked with the fat and the bones still connected to the meat tastes better.
