do i need to descale my sea bass before grilling whole?

Yes. The skin is so delicious and goes lovely and crispy if grilled so you'll have to take the scales off if you want to eat it whole. If you don't eat the skin don't bother. Do it in the sink but you'll still find them all over the kitchen. Someone once said to descale the fish in a bag but I've never tried that.

thank you

Hi Possage
Had Sea Bass last night - how did yours turn out - I bake mine - get fishmonger to fillet because they were big - just brushed with olive oil, lemon juice and some herbs in the centre. They were divine. Used to grill them but found they dried a bit. Would love some guidelines on how to grill. Seabass is my favourite and need I say my "love the good things in life" DS who is 8.
