Cantonese-style steamed pompano, before-and-after. :-)
(From this post; scroll down)
Happily demolished by chopsticks, progressively picking off pieces and sucking on the bones-plus-gelatinous-flesh from the belly region too. (Those belly bones were plucked out from my mouth by chopsticks and deposited on another little saucer, I imagine - I don't remember specifically now. :-D )
ETA: On further reflection I must have flipped the fish shown above after eating the "first side" otherwise the positioning of the initial fish and the bony carcass would not make sense. I've done this in other cases too. Then again, I also "peel off" the backbone/spine plus head in other cases; or break the spine just behind the head then peel off the spine from there to the tail before eating the"bottom half". Yes, if I go after the cheeks then of course I would need to flip the head over in any of the three cases to get both cheeks.
