What is the meaning of ゴト in the context of 鮎


I ate in a place with 鮎ラーメン. The store employee can't explain it but I think
it's something to do with the cut of the 鮎. It was butterfly cutted.

For cutting what would be the kanji for go-to. 毎? 丸毎 shortcut for the
marugoto?

丸ごと means "whole" and ごと is usually written in _kana_. By "butterfly" I guess
you mean what would be called 鮎のひらき, which means the fish would be "cleaned"
(gutted) but skin, bones, head, fins, etc. would not be removed.

I guess the store employee was trying to explain to you that you would be
served the whole fish, rather than a filet.
