Whiting feast

[captpierre]

Looked for something different to cook from Longos. Bought some fresh, wild caught Whiting for the first time. Whole fish. 10-12 inches.  Pan fried like a speckie. Head off, guts out, salt and pepper and coat  in flour. Fry till brown in butter.  Crispy skin- no scaling needed. Beautiful mild white meat.  Cost about $1 each. 3 of those cuties and I was happy.

Sounds like they are similar to the Alaskan Pollock except for size?

Shore fish for those in Florida anytime we're down there.  Oldman loves eating them.

Picked some up around the same time last year.  Can confirm that late ice pike also love eating them.

Thanks for posting your culinary adventure Capt.  You've inspired me to go to my fish monger, close my eyes and point at something too.

Whiting sounds( and looks )tasty!

It's ok if you're a freshwater fisherman and buying saltwater fish.

Was all in fun. I buy cod the odd time when it,s on sale. I will how ever,never buy the ice land cod ever again. There is no taste of the salt water ocean at all.  Very bland.

I was just jokin' too.  lol   When my buddies give me a hard time about buying fish because I haven't caught any, I always use that line.
