<blockquote> yes fish is good, but what's the best is a whole fish dude. If you can get your hands on it a grilled entire fish is awesome, head on and all. I don't understand why n. americans freak out when fish is served w/ head on. The best meat is found in the fish cheek, so let me at it w/ the head prease... </blockquote> Besides all of the different ways I have had fish at home, the single best fishmeal I ever ate was a red snapper served whole at one of the spots in the Fish Fry area in Nassau, Bahamas right near where the cruise boats are. It was cooked perfectly, and knocked out of the top spot a blackpepper crusted seared tuna with wasabi that I had in Key West. <blockquote> Although there definitely is a problem w/ overfishing </blockquote> Know what's funny about this, and it refers back to the fish being served whole. I was eating at a spot in Williamsburg last year, I think it was on N.6th street. One of the specials was a striped bass served whole. I asked the guy, are you sure that the bass is werved whole, he said yeah and then went on to explain that it was cooked and served with the head on and all of that. I asked him, how are you going to bring a 28 inch fish out on a plate? He looked at me and said "Huh? Nah, it's way smaller than that." In New York it's waaay illegal to keep a striped bass shorter than 28 inches, the fine is somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-1000 bucks. To put that in some perspective, this one was 36 inches. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v115/sweendoglongisle/kissfish2.jpg" alt="" />
