Have the fishmonger teach you one whole fish

“You will feel like you are holding up the queue and wasting a professional's time: say so out loud, and most of them will happily prove you wrong.”

The Recipe

  1. Go to the fish counter at the nearest proper market, not a supermarket, early while the catch is fresh.
  2. Point at a whole fish, ask them to pick you a good one, and ask them to show you how they would gut and fillet it.
  3. Watch closely, buy it, and ask what they would do with it tonight.
