"Sole meunière ou grillée " toute préparée "

ready prepared
Explanation:
This is a dish that the diner can tuck into without fiddling about with filleting and skinning the fish - more importantly for English diners (and, increasingly and worryingly, to French diners) is the fact that they won't have the fish staring up at them accusingly.

agree  B D Finch: Worrying? I don't like my food looking at me so I cook fish with the head on if appropriate, but decapitate them before serving on the plate. None of the fish has ever complained.

  -> Thanks - fine, but clearly you wouldn't throw a fit like many people do if it was served in a restaurant

agree  Martin Cassell: oh dear. in this terrible boned, beheaded and filleted future, however will the French describe someone making "des yeux de merlan frit" ?

  -> Thanks - yes, the language will surely lose something when we all eat reconstituted burgers (perish the thought)
