When you buy the fish, make sure it is cleaned for you. I usually go to my local Asian market because they have a great selection and the fish are super fresh. They also clean the fish for me and cut it up if I want that. Many people eat the fish whole, like I do and others prefer the head cut off. That is something you can ask to be cut as well.
You must be careful while eating it because there are small bones and those can be easily missed. I actually love using my hands to eat it because I can feel the bones before putting the fish in my mouth.
And of course, we always eat a whole fish per person, especially if you buy smaller size snappers, which is also what I prefer. I love seeing the whole fish on my plate.
