What does South Florida have against eating whole fish?
It's funny you say that because in NY there's an abundance of senior citizens in the places that serve whole fish.

Actually, I mean the West Palm Beach area, specifically northern PBC.
I know I can get a whole fried snapper at an Asian restaurant but I'd rather have it on the grill. I can imagine that a lot of women are squeamish about the head of the fish but I'm female and I grew up eating this way so it's no big deal to me. The only way I can have it is if I make it myself and it doesn't work out as well in an electric oven.

There is almost nowhere you can get a whole fish on the grill, which I find very odd and frustrating since Florida is so big on seafood. In NY there are many restaurants that serve this, especially mediterranean restaurants and some even base their menus around a large variety of fresh whole fish. The fact that so many transplanted NYers live here and that we have access to fresh seafood year round would make you think that there would be a demand for it but it's almost the opposite.
The one place by me that has it on their menu stopped serving it because of "complaints." (Why anyone would order a whole fish and then complain about the fact that's it's whole, is incomprehensible to me.)
I just don't understand.
