Eating Fish whilst in Samui/Phangyan

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
