bones are only really a problem in certain species of fish, most are minimal or big enough not to be a problem (easy to pick out)

[Anonymous No.13457464]

>why are so many people scared of whole fish?
Because they've never been taught how to handle eating a whole fish. It's not exactly difficult, but it is one heck of a lot easier if you understand a little about the physiology of the fish so you can avoid eating the bits that are too bony.

Very small fish can be eaten whole. They're wonderful when deep fried.

[Anonymous No.13458634]

When ordering a fancier (read: pricier) fish, I always go for whole fish. Don't trust fillets, since it's a time-honored tradition for restaurants to rip off customers by passing some Chinese farmed shit as higher-tier species.

Based and redpilled
People who complain about bones in fish are unironically retarded, fish live in water so having a strong rigid skeletal system would be fucking retarded, so most of them have a spine (easy to avoid) and the rest of the bones are usually hair-thin

This just sounds retarded, wouldn’t it make a lot more sense that it’s just the “norm” not to because of boomers obsessing over convenience and “getting the best part” 60 years ago rather than “lol mortality”.

If anything you’re practically jumping from “why do people not like x” to “people who don’t like x are NPC’s” when there’s probably a lot more reasonable explanation that has to do with shitty trends in consumerism

The modern person is totally disconnected from the food chain. A whole fish vs. a filet reminds them that the food they're eating was once a living creature. Because of their weak temperament this makes them uncomfortable. Same reason you see "hacks" to cook a chicken breast without having to touch the meat itself.

It feels like even my most intelligent friends are willfully ignorant of the fact that they're eating an animal. Why can't people embrace it and treat the creatures meat comes from a little more respectfully instead of making themselves look like children? I love meat and don't plan to quit eating it - there's a whole world of midde grounds between meat-eating retard and vegan retard but nobody ever wants to look into it because change bad

Processed as in removing all the junk so I can just eat the good stuff. And yes, that is always superior. I go to restaurants so they'll do the work for me. If I wanted to deal with fish scales, bones, organs, etc, and process it all myself I'd buy a fish and prepare it at home.

>would you order a rack of ribs and ask the chef to remove all the bones for you so "you can just eat the good stuff"?
No, because the bones are plenty large enough to eat around and I don't risk choking from failing to pick one out. But that's not a fair comparison anyway, would you rather they bring out an entire piglet so you can pull out the ribs yourself?
