My mom was recently at a traditional Chinese wedding where there was an assortment of lavish dishes, many of which she did not know what they were. When the whole fish came out, the beautiful bride to be reached over and popped the fish eye into her mouth which horrified my mother. Then, she said the fisheye tasted like chalk.

I’ve never had it and refuse to but I’d probably eat a whole fish without any problem. The only thing I can remember eating that was way out of the ordinary (besides any sashimi and seafood) was quail egg a long time ago.

I have never prepared a whole fish, but I have inadvertently ordered one at a restaurant. It was fine once I covered the head with a napkin.

I admit it, I’m a wuss and even though I eat meat I don’t like to eat it when it still resembles its former alive self.

That’s impressive that you cooked a whole fish yourself, it looks great! I’ve never done it personally, but my mom does all the time, and she likes to eat allll of it… eyeballs, inside the head… I’m still quite apprehensive about those things, though…reaaaally not feeling it haha. I do like the addition of bulgar and raisins to your fish, yum! Oh, and I’ve never even heard of a croaker fish before… maybe I should be on the lookout for it now!

Wow that meal looked delicious- loved the moral hahha (and the “It’s rude to stare” comment!) I’ve never had a full fish before- i feel like I would be scared I’d choke on a bone- I usually freak out when a fillet I’m eating has a little baby bone in it! haha
