No, your outlook is simple.
I want to eat fish. It doesn't come without the bones. I don't eat it.
That doesn't equal aproblem solved. It equals - I can't enjoy the fish I want, as the chef didn't bother to fillet it.
The fish is filleted, leaving me to enjoy it without tearing into tiny pieces = problem solved.
Actually I can now tear out the spine and all the rest in a few strokes of the old chopsticks, so it's a moot point for me.
Funilly enough I never see Koreans do this, they still pick tiny pieces off etc and go around the bones, so to speak. (Ths doesn't mean I hate them, okay.)

I don't mind fish bones because I'm good enough with chopsticks that I can pick them out, separate it, or whatnot.
삼치, 고등어, 꽁치, 갈치
The 4 top fishes eaten in Korea and I could de-bone all of them with my chopsticks in under 3 minutes.
I'd be more than happy to meet any of you at a Korean restaurant in Seoul and show you how. |
Do it with your feet and I'll pay for the meal. |

One reason to leave the bones and shells in the meal is for flavor. It can be irritating removing them however!
Still, this is not a sign of a lack of food sophistication, it is just a cooking preference in my opinion. |

Koreans and those foriegners with Korean ethnicity have very thin skin when it comes to all matters regarding Korea's 'pride.'
Thus if I say I don't like tearing my fish to unenjoyable shreds and only being able to eat tiny bites of it because the chef was too lazy or didn't have the know-how to fillet it; I thus am a whinging baby, cultural imperialist and obviously, hate ALL Korean food.

I take offense when the said complaint is worded so that Koreans are the only people on the entire planet guilty of doing it.
GASP! Why do KOREANS do ______ ???? How could they!?!? This doesn't happen where I'm from, so I'm going to assume no one else in the world does it either. Only Korea is backwater, lazy, and uncivilized!

In all fairness, I'm not going to discuss how I don't like Gravlax on a Korean forum.
As for the bones, I just pick them out. I've been using chopsticks since middle school, so it's easy. Do I enjoy it? Not as much as if I didn't have to pick them out. At home, though I just do this:

Yout are trying to convionce us that leaving the tiny spine and skeleton in grilled ssang song mulgogi or oddonga or trout changes the flavour? It doesn't. |

I tried and it does...I was actually surprised when my wife did that and told me after! 
Oh and not trying to convince anyone since this is clearly a food preference. What I like and what you like are quite different things and I did not (as you should have noticed) question what you said, I just discussed the topic.
You find bones and fish spines irritating (apparently to a HIGH degree considering your "it takes me 25 minutes just to..." comment) and I respect that.
I personally find a taste difference when the bones are removed prior to cooking and personally do not find it bothersome to remove the spine and bones from a fish (I was shown how to do this easily by a friend years ago...before that the fish ended up being a mangled mess on my plate!).
To each his or her own anyway. I am not looking to argue food here.
Oh and in my family, people eat the cartilage off the bones when we eat chicken. Always loved that crunchy part. I did that with my in-laws in Korea once and you should have seen their faces. It was priceless.

I seldom filet any fish I catch, unless its really large. I don't mind the bones.
However I usually do remove the skin/scales, head and intestines. The head removal reduces the size of the pan needed. I know that Koreans pickle pollock intestines. They also cook whole fish with the intestines "in situ".
That's not to my enjoyment.
Then again, I don't like chicken cartlidge.
Chicken feet do make good stock though. |

As an aside, I would like to apologize to Captain Corea for saying that I got my facts from his vagina.
*edit* the post has been removed, the apology still stands. |
