"GOLD" — Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 fans praise Aesha Scott about the fish knife situation

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 aired a brand new episode this week on Monday, August 12, 2024. During the segment, a new group of guests appeared on the show but as Captain Sandy described them, they were "difficult." The guests caused a commotion about one of the couches being an "eyesore" followed by arguing about cutlery with the chief stew, Aesha Scott.

During dinner, one of the guests wondered why she was given a butter knife instead of a fish knife. This caused a disagreement between the guest and Aesha Scott. Insisting that it was a butter knife, the guest questioned the chief stew.

"Yeah, I've worked in service a very long time. That's a fish knife. It's because fish is not supposed to be tough. It's supposed to be smooth, so it just cuts through," Aesha stated.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 fans took to social media to react to the segment and praised Aesha Scott for how she handled the fish knife situation. One person wrote on X:

"Aesha schooling that guest on what is a fish knife and what is a butter knife was GOLD!! #BelowDeck #BelowDeckMed"

"Aesha checked that charter guest for wrongly complaining her knife was a “butter knife” when it fact it was a fish knife #BelowDeckMed #BelowDeck," a fan commented.

"Aesha calling out the trashy and pretentious guest who is raving about her dining etiquette but couldn't tell a fish knife from a butter knife. #BelowDeck #BelowDeckMed," a tweet read.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 fans said that Aesha was "the best" and that they didn't like the guest's behavior towards her:

"Gotta give respect to Aesha for schooling that c—t (sorry but I already HAAAATE these guests lol) — it’s NOT a butter knife, trash bag…it’s a FISH knife. Now kindly STFU and eat your meal kthxbye #BelowDeckMed," a person wrote.

"Because Aesha corrected you about the knife situation you felt it appropriate to insult an earlier situation she had nothing to do with or no control over? #BelowDeckMed," a fan commented.

"Actually this is a fish knife and you don't know what you're talking about (paraphrasing)." Aesha's the best!!! #BelowDeckMed," a tweet read.

Below Deck Mediterranean fans further said:

"That guest did not need to go off on Aesha like that. Rude. #BelowDeckMed," a person wrote.

"Aesha stood up for yourself that’s right girl! #BelowDeckMed," a fan commented.
