Yeah, I just don’t get the apprehension about the whole fish thing either. I grew up with Mom bringing a whole steamed fish to the diiner table. IMHO, fish prepared whole tastes better. Plus, how else are you supposed to tell the fish is fresh or that you are getting what you are supposed to get? I agree that prepping the fish personally such as scaling can be messy. Be sure to ask the fishmonger to scale the fish and clean out the guts.

Plus, its an opportunity to develop a relationship and support a local business instead of getting a frozen filet at your supermarket.

I have been kinda scared, I admit, to tackle cooking a whole fish. However, like you, I do kinda suck at filleting. (I once bought a bunch of whole tilapia and ended up with a whole lot of meat left on the bones! Good for fish stock though!) Thank you so much for the step-by-step…I’m gonna have to get a fish basket thingy and grill a whole fish! Now, where to find the freshest fish in land-locked Dallas? Maybe at the Asian market, where they’re still swimming in the tank?

Thanks Jaden!

I’ve caught bluefish almost every summer of my life, but I’ve never grilled it whole like you have here. Looks delicious. Sadly, I’m not going to be able to get any fishing time in this summer, but I’m going to try this on another type fish (I only really like bluefish when it’s really fresh)

what is bluefish like when not fresh? i was going to fillet and freeze. bad idea? ~j
