Some top and bottom fins have sharp spines on them - this anti-predator device works on people like you and me, who are predators. I tend to remove the spines in that case, to save some tears. :-) Cutting the spines doesn't remove the bones within the fish, anyway, so some care in presentation or consumption is still required.
We tend to cook a lot of whole fish, generally by grilling or baking. Otherwise, I'll butcher the fish, and we can cook it on the stove top. I've got lots of simple techniques I can share.
