When purchasing fish, the term “whole” or “round” (used interchangeably) refers to:
  1. As caught, intact
  2. Viscera (internal organs) are removed, gills are removed, the fish is scaled and fins and tail are trimmed.
  3. Viscera and gills are removed, but the fish is otherwise intact.
Explanation
Answer: A - Whole fish are sold by vendors as-is. The main benefit of purchasing fish whole is that it ensures freshness and quality, and provides the chef the freedom to prepare it however he or she wishes.
