The flesh of a properly cooked whole fish should easily flake with a fork, indicating it's done, but it shouldn't fall apart, which would suggest overcooking. The color of the flesh should not be translucent when fully cooked; it should be opaque. The color of the bone is not a reliable indicator of doneness.
