I love eating fish but I refuse to buy fillets because of all the fraudulent activity. At least when I buy fish whole I know what I’m getting (on a species to species level at least. Farmed/Wild/Specific region is trickier to spot) Red Snappers and Nile Perches are very different looking fish, but you’d have to buy them whole.

I’m not sure I’ve ever gone somewhere (for retail fish) where you could buy a whole fish where they wouldn’t filet it for you while you are standing there. Of course those bones and head make good stock so I try usually buy whole fish anyway.

Go to Korean or Chinese supermarkets — fish served whole.

I’ve only been to Midwest and east coast Asian markets, but I’ve never had a request to break down a fish turned down. If you are having trouble finding something your area H-Mart (which I think is pretty ubiquitous) will break down a fish you select in a manner you specify.

Is that so hard to find? Here is a list of academics jailed for their ethnicity, as part if the genocide. https://shahit.biz/supp/list_003.pdf

This is what Gene Bunin, the author of that list, had to say about his own database: > "we have over 10000+ documented people" was the initial comment. Neither boasting nor saying 100% are credible." Sounds incredibly reliable to me. [1] https://twitter.com/shahitbiz/status/1306554296088096769

Here is the wikipedia page of the very 1st person on the list https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halmurat_Upur
