[quote=Anonymous]I quick quite a bit and love fish and seafood, but have never done anything too exotic—mostly bake fillets in the oven. Try different spices and flavors and have done some interesting stuff with that, but it's all just basically the same and I almost always wind up doing salmon or cod.

Then I was camping in WV about a month ago and took my son fishing—not much of a fisherman, but it's fun to hang out. We didn't catch anything and as my son was walking back empty-handed an old-timer was getting out of his boat with six rainbow trout—told my son he catches hundreds a year and can't eat these so gave them to us. I watched a few quick vids on how to clean a fish and it's pretty easy—I don't recommend it, but it can be done. I tried filleting a few (which I've done before wiht things I've caught) and it was a real pain and the fillets were ugly and wasteful. Gave up and just threw the other ones on the grill in some tinfoil, stuffed with lemons and rosemary.

OMG.
So good!
So easy! 
Best fish I've ever made!

Today I went to Wegmans and they always have whole fish stacked on ice in front of the counter and I assumed it was for show, but I asked the clerk, she came around, let me pick out two snapper—two large snapper, total came to $31. Enough fish to feed six. Fresh. Shiny eyes, no smell. They were already cleaned, but she offered to scale them while I finished my shopping.

About to throw them on the grill.

Between the price and the superior taste of fresh whole fish, I"m never going to bother with filets or frozen again, especially if it's that easy for the fish counter to prepare them how I want it! Also allows me to eat more seasonally! They have a chalkboard with where the fish came from. Very pleased and disappointed I was so intimidated for so long.[/quote]
