premise: If you 're not expecting it , and it really does n't go with the dish , it 's bloody awful . I had sand whiting with Mediterranean stuffing . The stuffing was nice enough , and the fish was cooked well , but there was a bit of sinew or something attached that made it hard to cut through . I do n't know if sand whiting is always like that , or they just did n't clean it properly , but I do n't expect to need a steak knife to eat fish . There was no seasoning on the fish , and too much in the saffron broth ( which was more like a reduction ) that was poured over it . I assume they thought it would balance the dish out , but it did n't . Why does the writer not expect to need a steak knife to eat fish ?
hypothesis: Because the knife really does n't go with the dish .
