I saw it instore on Wednesday at the fish counter and the bass did look nice and fresh. May be farmed though.

In my local ASDA they were whole fish.

Bit of a novice with whole fish, you cut the head and tail, gut it, and the do you have to scale them, any tips on cooking, garnish etc?

They should be scaled already because ASDA specialises in doing no mess fresh fish ie you ask for a cook bag, the asst asks you which butter you want (free) . When you get home cooking instructions are on the bag just look for the fish species. You shove the fish still in the bag on a baking tray or similar in oven or in microwave if it says you can.

If you hate it find the receipt and demand a refund. However, telling them it's got bones won't work

Not quite as cheap as our local market. 7 sea bass for £10 today.

Asda fish come ready gutted and descaled, you can ask the counter staff to remove the head and tail too. I'm a recent convert from baking fish in the oven to steaming in a parcel - my slow cooker has a steamer function.
