Small silvery fish with tender, white, firm flesh, delicately flavoured and low in fat. Whiting is related to cod but is slightly cheaper and less flavoursome. They are a good buy in their own right, however, for certain recipes, especially fish pates and mousse.
How do I get Whiting ready to use?
Because whiting fillets are small, allow two per serving.
What about keeping Whiting?
Wrapped in foil in the fridge and use within one or two days of purchase.
How do I cook Whiting?
Coated in Information about Meats or batter and fried or flaked in fish cakes. Whiting is also good grilled, fried in butter or poached in wine.
