Let no unruly bulb of fennel be a source of intimidation ever again.
The first step is to cut off the stalks where they meet the top of the bulb. Don't just throw them out, though: The stalks can be used to flavor stocks, especially, and soups. And the fronds should be treated like delicate, anise-scented herbs that can be minced and tossed into a salad or sauce, or used as a garnish. They're a heck of a lot prettier than parsley leaves.
In the case of fennel, the core is entirely edible, if a tiny bit firmer than the rest of the bulb. This means you can either leave it in or cut it out. Leaving it in will produce slices that each contain multiple layers of fennel, all held together by the core. If you take the core out, you'll get very thin individual strips.
Lay each half on the flat cut side, and slice lengthwise to your desired thickness. As you can see, you end up with slices that each include the bulb's layers, held together by the core. You can eat them raw, roast them, or sear them in a skillet; grilling is a good choice for this type of cut, too, since the size of the slices makes them less likely to fall through the grate into the coals below.To make thinner sliced strips, you'll want to remove the core first.
