I have been going to Negril for many years, and I don't eat whole fish .... childhood memories that still cause me to avoid bones...lol! When I'm not sure looking at the menu I always ask my server, whether at a fancy restaurant or at a smaller place, if I can get just fillets. Sometimes it takes a little longer, but I'm rarely charged more and usually it's "no problem". I can count the times on one hand that I haven't been accommodated. Tell your girlfriend not to worry at all.
