Native speaker and I too didn't know the phrase. It sounded like a method to prep salmon from the way it was worded. I found online: "Whole/In The Round: Whole fish or fish “in the round” are being sold completely intact, exactly as they were caught."

Interesting, thanks. As a native speaker my best guess was that it was some stage of processing, maybe sliced into round fish steaks of a sort or something.

  Have never heard this phrase for fish, but guessing from elsewhere (sculpture?) thought it meant the whole fish, as opposed to fillets.

    Looks like sculpture and theater both use the phrase in similar ways.
