Whole and Gutted We professionally remove the internal organs and gills while maintaining the natural shape of the fish.
- Best For: Oven-baking or salt-crust roasting.
- Benefit: Leaving the central bone intact during cooking infuses the dense meat with deeper flavor and prevents it from drying out under heat.
