I like that your mentality for prep was “Well, this thing is ugly. Better commit and chuck the head in the pan as well”
Wait bro are those fucking *fins*? This is a mental health crisis in a pan

Am Asian, would eat. Have eaten deep fried brujo which looked like that. Head and all

I normally don’t struggle to eat something that’s staring back at me, but this is too much.

Their smaller brethren (sea robin) are called trash fish but they taste so damned good.

Rock cod?

Skin side down on some cast iron/stainless steel, starting cold, let the fat render and that skin will get super crispy with a perfect glassy texture instead of leathery, which is mid.

Atleast tell the butcher to filet it and cut the scales man

The fish thinks you’re ugly too, you know.

Wait, so you make fish stew/soup using fish with the scales and fins still on? Shit it doesn’t take much effort to descale a whole fish with the back of your knife. I guess if you plan on only making a broth and straining it so you don’t get scales in your throat, but that seems like more effort than just quickly descaling it in the sink before stewing it, but maybe it’s some sort of old family recipe and eat sharp fish scales are good for children and the elderly in your family for some reason? Hell if consuming the scales is some sort of old timey medicine why not descale the fish then buzz the scales up into a powder and put them in 00 gel caps to prevent damage to the esophagus?

You can’t be this naive when it comes to cooking.

It’s actually a super delicious fish but has to be cooked right

Human, kills fish and eats it
Human: Blegh. Not good
Fish: Well fuck you too, asshole

So is it bad because you suck at cooking? Or this fish just generally doesn’t taste good?

If that’s a red grouper then are super expensive.

Is this redfish? If it is is best in the oven in a layer of onion rings and potatoes cut in rounds. A bit of sweet paprika on top and olive oil

Sorry boss but this one’s on you, I feel bad for the fish.

LMAO—bro, I think the taste being mid was on you; it looks like you just took a fish you didn’t recognize, chunk it up, and then threw it on a bed of aromatics expecting it to become something else! Where are the seasonings, the butter, something like lemon? Idk, maybe if you actually did a little research or followed a recipe, it might have actually been good…

Red snapper?? Looks like one I did similar with at the fishmongers went in for salmon came out with an entire red snapper. Never cooked a fish whole with eyes and everything but ate it all. Deboning was tricky but it was great!

Don’t blame the fish. That fish should taste awesome. The issue lies elsewhere….
