No, it doesn't. In tourists' spots in Greece the fish is served whole, not filleted. There's no way you can order one thing and be served something else. Also the menu regarding fish products isn't fixed. It depends on what is available on any given day. What can and does happen occasionally is to be served fish that isn't quite fresh.
- yellowapple 7y agoServing the fish whole doesn't address the problem that most people not accustomed to being served a whole fish likely don't know what a salmon or tuna or trout or tilapia or yellowtail or what have you actually looks like, let alone be able to differentiate between them. Sure, maybe they'll figure out some obvious cases (catfish are pretty distinctive, and anchovies/sardines are typically served whole even in the "West"), and some freshwater fish like salmon and trout might be recognizable to folks who've gone fishing at least once in their lives, but otherwise there's a pretty good chance you can point at a halibut, say "this is a tilapia", and get someone to believe you.
