Where can I get a fresh, unfilleted fish from excluding going out and fishing for it of course. Will a mongers sell it to you unfilleted or would they refuse for legal reasons?

[Les Marshall]

I asked my mate who catches them for a living, and he says that he dresses the fish on board before he gets back to shore, and that most of his peers do the same

you can get an un-fillited fish in your local super market fom the fish counter..
though you will find it hard to find one that has not gutted.. you should not have a problem..

this was at least the case last time i was in a super market a few years ago..

I got some from morrisons a few months ago, 4 trout, all untouched by a knife :wink:

Try your local fishmongers, if you still have one where you live. I buy my fish whole from my local fish monger who gives me the option of having htem prep'd or gutting them myself.

Tesco's fish counter usually has plenty to choose from.

It's a learning experience watching them gutting fish for other people too - the staff in my local store are super fast at it! :wink:

Herring, mackerel and sardine are usualy ungutted at the nearest Tescos to me, my fish monger gets in pretty much all the fish ungutted and then does them when people buy them. I normaly take them as is and some fish he won't do - like the wolfish I had a while back ( having skinned it myself I can understand why, they make eels look delicate ). He'll also do most game as is but if you've never tried it before I wouldn't start gutting on something that's been dead for a week and still has all its feathers.
