Eating Fish whilst in Samui/Phangyan

[1927]

Wasnt sure whether to post this in Samui or Food forum so im starting here

Been many times but myself and partner always tend to end up eating same food i eat back home, got nice 3 weeks on the islands coming up and im determined to eat more local food.

I love fish but in the past when i have tried to be adventurous and ordered fish it lands on my plate exactly that - a whole fish - have to admit i dont enjoy that ...

So my question is simply are there any dishes/fish that would come meat only/filleted or if when i ordered would they take the head off and remove bones?

or is it just the Thai way of things it comes as a whole fish and thats that ?

would just like a little help

thanks a lot
