When standing at the seafood counter at the grocery store looking at all of the fish options, people tend to intentionally skip over those scary whole fishes just staring at you from behind the glass. I get it, the thought of presenting a large Whole Roasted Fish with their head and tail still attached to the dinner table can seem intimidating yet somehow visually thrilling. However, there is no reason to steer clear from these little guys as these fish are friends and also make for great food!

Cooking Striped Bass is easier to make than you would think and you will build up those brownie points because this an easy way to impress the hell out of your guests or significant other.

The one thing, I love about this dish is that it brings people together in its purest and fanciest form. Imagine you and your family or friends gathered around what is the main attraction scooping out its flaky, juicy and fatty flesh from its skeleton. You almost don't feel human consuming it this way and it takes people out of their comfort zones. I love it!

So, now that you built up the courage and got over that hump of actually purchasing one of these, the intimidation still won't leave. You are standing in your kitchen contemplating how to season it, cook it and bring out its true colors and flavors. But, there is no need to worry! My Spicy, Lemon, Dill Whole Roasted Fish Recipe will help you through this.
