Dinner Party for 10 - fish main course

[chef]

Im cooking for a dinner party for 10 and its been requested that I have a fish based main course. I'm reluctant to do something simple like a whole salmon but then can't get any inspiration for what else to cook.. any ideas?

there are 3 criteria:
- must be fish based
- nothing too spicy
- should be easily scalable to 10 people

<Chef in "i much prefer cooking meat" mode>

Alternatively, any other recipe ideas for 10 people are also much appreciated for future reference

Halibut à la Fiji;

- 1 hole in the ground, 2 metres long
- some rocks
- some palm leaves
- 1 fire
- 1 medium halibut

1 Light a fire
2 heat up the rocks on the fire
3 wrap the halibut in the palm leaves
4 wait till the fire goes out
5 put the wrapped halibut on the embers
6 put the hot rocks on top
7 wait, open a bottle of favourite booze
8 remove rocks and open package; your fish dinner for ten is ready
