The scene depicts a raw, whole fish, likely a sea bass, meticulously prepared for cooking, situated in an indoor culinary environment in Tel Aviv, Israel. The fish, oriented diagonally within a white oval baking dish featuring prominent blue vertical stripes on its interior rim, has been gutted and its belly cavity stuffed with several bright yellow lemon slices and vibrant red cherry tomatoes. Its skin is scored and generously covered with finely chopped white garlic and green herbs, consistent with parsley. A clear, golden-yellow liquid, resembling olive oil, pools at the bottom of the dish, intermingled with additional chopped garlic and herbs. The dish rests on a light brown surface, suggestive of wood.
