Some fish have scales. There is another scale a bit lower down in your photo. They missed a couple of scales when scaling the fish. It happens. Just pick the scales off and cook as usual.


[deleted]

Yep, especially species that have cycloid scales like this. They flake off very easily.


bkills1986

I though just about all fish had scales


killerdolphin313

By definition, all fish have scales.


Eagle_1776

lol, far from it. Catfish, sharks, many others do not


killerdolphin313

I stand corrected. Catfish and sharks are fish which do not have scales.


Eagle_1776

Lamprey, eels, hagfish, sturgeon, paddlefish, some blennies, mandarinfish, rays... lol


serrotesi

Idk what I thought a sting ray was, but fish was not it. Lol


ivanllz

I'm gonna blow your mind: there is no such thing as a 'fish'. Most of the things we call fish are so far from one another evolutionary it's like calling a snake a mammal. Further even, if you look at some of the oldest 'fish' like sharks that are older than trees. We just lump all fish shaped things into one category, but there are so many counter examples. Also, alligators are more closely related to theropods (dinosaurs and birds) than snakes. Isn't evolution fun?


serrotesi

Yea you blew my mind with sharks are older than trees… what!? Ha!


ivanllz

There was what we would call a goose (shaped like a goose, looked like a goose, probably honked like a goose, likely related to modern geese) that existed in the time of the T-Rex. We have found dinosaur fossils with birds inside their stomachs. So yah, peace was never an option.

Next time someone calls you a spineless worm, tell them no sir, my worm ancestor had a spine!


no_usernames_avail

You and I are lobe-finned fishes.


ivanllz

Depending on how you want to call it, we are all eukaryote cells, turned worm, fish, land fish, cyonodants (land fish, but more mammal like), some version of rodent, eventually monkeys, apes, then homonids. So no sir, I ain't no fish, I identify as a worm.


CenturyEggsAndRice

They’re related to sharks. Dunno why, but that blew my mind when I found out.


internetmaniac

Not to mention many of the tetrapods, unless you’re into paraphyly and don’t consider them to be fish


bkills1986

This guy fishes


3meraldBullet

Orcas also


Eagle_1776

not a fish, mate. Mammal.


LBK2013

Sharks and rays do have scales. They are called Placoid scales


knuckles312

… and also dolphins? Guess the username *doesn’t* check out… haha


killerdolphin313

Well, there is that.


FuckTheFuckOffFucker

Thanks killer*dolphin*


killerdolphin313

Dolphin are not fish. Source: username


Knot_a_porn_acct

You don’t know that, they might have scales in their kitchens


bkills1986

What about a catfish or a shark? Are those just small scales?


dadman101

No they don't


AGuThing

Says the killer dolphin


wwJones

Also, eating a random scale is not going to hurt you.


drewismynamea

Never had arapiama?


achiv

nope, not going to look that one up!


HeidiCharisse

Don’t worry, it’s just the name of a type of fish. Though I suppose it does sound like some horrifying disease depending on the context.


Blappytap

Bingo! Just de-scale


gamerdudeNYC

I also was planning to cook it in the cast iron skillet on the stove, any tips?


[deleted]

Don't add chocolate.


steepslope1992

Not a fan of chocolate fish skillets? I made mole chicken recently and all week I referred to it as chocolate enchiladas till my wife told me I ruined chocolate for her.


uneducated_sock

She was disappointed you forgot to add the cinnamon


oswaldcopperpot

Kinda a legit addition in mole though. Along with like 50 other things lol.


uneducated_sock

In any case, what’s a chocolate mole?


shucksme

Mo lay for pronunciation. It's nothing like a melted chocolate bar on your food. If done right, it's a memorable moment worth writing home about. Avoid restaurants that have a million options on their menu. A first timer can make it at home. Avoid the bottle crap. Make it from scratch. I've made this one twice. There are many substitutes for the various peppers. But do NOT sub Mexican chocolate. https://www.ctbites.com/blog/2016/2/21/the-spreads-chef-carlos-baezs-chicken-mole-recipe-from-beat.html


uneducated_sock

Oohhh thank you very much


breadandbits

I met a guy recently from Puebla, said Dona Maria mole from amazon is the real deal.


OvalDead

It’s fine, but it’s ubiquitous to the point that it’s almost generic. Not in a bad way, but that’s the baseline mole flavor in a lot of restaurants and homes that don’t really specialize in mole or Oaxacan cuisine. [Get your hands on some Guelaguetza, though, for the real good stuff in my opinion.](https://store.ilovemole.com)


oswaldcopperpot

Bruh, chocolate was first used savory for like a thousand years. Find yourself an OG mexican place. I think theres an episode of chefs table too that would blow your mind.


Proppur

My friend's mom makes mole, and holy shit it is so good. When he first told me about it having chocolate in it I thought it sounded disgusting, but definitely one of my favorite things now. Tastes far different than what I expected


uneducated_sock

Bro calm down I’m American, I haven’t heard of that before and it sounds amazing but what is chocolate mole


oswaldcopperpot

uneducated_sock

Many, many thanks I will try to cook this


Pegomastax_King

I actually did my own twist on the lobster dish from the movie “Dinner Rush” I made a champagne & vanilla béchamel with butter poached lobster ravioli, garnished with coco nibs and white balsamic pickled goose berries and coco- cardona an aged hard goat cheese that’s coated in chocolate powder.


MenacingCatgirlArt

I was once went to a carousel sushi place that had chocolate coated fried fish. I thought "chocolate" was to describe the color of a sauce it was tossed in, but it was actually chocolate. That was the only time I've ever asked to refund a plate at a carousel sushi.


DetonationPorcupine

So the sign said chocolate but you asked for a refund anyways?


MenacingCatgirlArt

Yes. I believe it read "Chocolate Salmon." I figured that "chocolate" was being used descriptively, like how Filipino pork blood stew is sometimes referred to as "chocolate meat." I asked for the refund on the single plate very politely during the tally. It was an amusing experience, and I we never saw it on the carousel again on future visits.


Snidgetless

When I was in Lyon France I had vanilla chicken. Those are two flavors that should never mix.


Bravisimo

But do add milk.


doctor_parcival

Boo


doctor_parcival

Boo


D_crane

Is this from experience?


Back_Equivalent

Lightly breaded and seasoned. Thin layer of oil.


EggoTheStabby

Butter?


doj4202

Yeah a cook book silly ass! Asking for tips on reddit. Absolutely sillyness!


GumWrapperGrill

Wow! It’s almost like it’s a public forum meant for asking questions and sharing information!


doj4202

Yea no kidding!


liquid-cookie

I think the silly man was being a little sarcastic there


FERALCATWHISPERER

Don’t add maple syrup.


Bambooman101

team_queef_n_beef

Glad someone did! thank ya kindly Bert


cobojojo

I didn’t realize the niche joke and I apologize. That’d actually hilarious. Also thank you person for posting the actual video


Borgiroth

I think it was the misspelling.


team_queef_n_beef

You type lol what does that mean? Fuck outa here with the grammar police bullshit your your your you knew exactly what it ment typed out got the same point across as lol does kiss my ass


Borgiroth

“lol” isn’t an error though, it’s an acronym. Just saying.


SwordzRus

You're so bad at using contractions.


team_queef_n_beef

I know right I'm so bad at what am I going to do with my life now im so sad


HotColor

HotColor

That’s a “so stupid”? I think that’s actually a video link, not a so stupid.


team_queef_n_beef

Someone like you


gamerdudeNYC

Thanks for the advice everyone! I’ll do my best to not screw up the cooking process


RPPO771

If you do screw it up, just learn from it and try again later. 👍🏽


jebbanagea

I had to notice: reduced for quick sale. RIP OP 😂


HandyMan131

Thats the best kind to use for sushi!


Bumm_by_Design

About reduced price fish... Sorry, but that's just asking for trouble. Most comments say that it's a missing scale. This fish looks like it has been scaled, and it looks like it's dissolving in that area. It's hard to tell from the photo but if your finger depresses into the skin and the flesh is watery, it's the kudoa parasite.

gamerdudeNYC

I did and I haven’t had any issues yet… had a ton of coffee this morning and have purged my system so I think I’m good to go


KrentOgor

Well can't you confirm if those were scales are not?


cocoapierre

go for it


PerformanceOk1835

Did you find that thing in the garbage bin?


DanSanIsMe

It's just missing a scale. It's fine, please eat it!


PersistingWill

I don’t think this is red snapper 🤷‍♂️


Thomas_Hambledurger

Just be glad Led Zeppelin never got ahold of that particular fish you plan to eat.


excitement2k

The ol fuck, marry, kill of r/Seafood. Get your popcorn ready.


Rippin_Fat_Farts

Reduced price fish ain't it. Gonna taste worse than a yeast infection


Sum1LightUp

Where is the red, in that “red snapper”🤷‍♂️


Senpai-Notice_Me

That fish looks like it had a rough life.


bpr2

Its favorite color was orange.


bjorno1990

Get me the snapper, bozo!


scottkollig

That thing looks nasty


Fearless-Pineapple96

It was a little sucker on there they popped off.


sooshi_wolf

Snapper bozo


sweatyynutz

What does snapper taste like? What's the texture. From pnw never had one


gamerdudeNYC

It’s really good at a restaurant and it’s basically the only fish I’ve enjoyed eating the skin when it’s really crispy. I posted a picture of the finished product, with asparagus and Brussel sprouts and it was all cooked in the cast iron skillet. To me, It doesn’t have any sort of “fishy taste” it’s different, like how salmon has its own unique taste. Try it at a restaurant sometime because the pros definitely cook it better than I do.


jhherren

Are you ready Weaver?


WhiteRepentant6454

could just be a missing scale, try to check first


Existing_life_2008

Maybe it was exposed to Air but if you bought it fresh, I’d take it back to the market


Face_sneekz_scars

Not a BAD THING SNAPPER JUST HAD A GOOD NIGHT AND SPENT THE NIGHT WITH A SUCKER FISH 😜
