Fish & Chip SHops
Where I live we have 4 fish and chip shops fairly close by- it's a tourist area.
Last night I went to the premium joint who have their own trawlers and also sell fresh seafood - and charge accordingly.
They have a sign up saying they cannot guarantee boneless fish - the first time I have EVER seen such a sign I might add, in any chippie, in WA, Qld, Vic, Tas & NSW.
I didn't finish my snapper after finding nine bones in the first 4 mouth fulls -yet the snapper I my neighbour gave me caught on his boat was a bigger fillet and completely boneless.
Am I being anal and asking too much of the chippie or am I getting stiffed because they don't want to go to the expense of boning fish properly?
Cheers

Sounds like laziness to me, I'd be voting with me feet & maybe send them a postcard telling them that you did so.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

More likely they don't want to pay someone who knows how to bone a fish properly... and are paying minimal wages to some 17yo who has TAFE "certifications" in boning instead.

Totally agree with cliff.
Sounds like he's trying to save money.
Talking to the local fisho last week he told me it's $29 dollars a kilo for filleting King George WhitingCheers Fred

Agree with the above.
With the "modern fish & chippie" there is also the problem of substitution - in many cases when the fish is processed and cooked identification can be difficult.
