Whiting has tender fish meat that cooks quickly. It is delicious when fried briefly in butter or olive oil, lightly breaded or natural. Steaming, grilling or poaching are also suitable preparation methods. Because of its soft texture, careful frying is important to prevent it from falling apart.

Yes, North Sea whiting is increasingly being caught sustainably, especially when carrying the MSC label. Whiting is a fast-growing species, allowing stocks to recover quickly. Choose fish caught with sustainable methods such as line or low-bycatch nets.

Whiting has a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is softer and finer in texture than cod or pollock, and less pronounced than haddock. Its delicate taste makes it ideal for family dishes and light fish meals.

Fresh whiting is available at fishmongers, markets, and sometimes supermarkets. Online fish suppliers also offer fresh or frozen options. Look for:

  • Clear eyes and shiny skin
  • Firm flesh
  • Fresh, ocean-like smell

→ Often a more budget-friendly choice compared to cod or haddock.

  • Fried whiting fillet with lemon butter
  • Whiting in fish soup or bouillabaisse
  • Whiting baked with tomato, onion and herbs
  • Breaded or tempura-style whiting
  • Homemade fishcakes using whiting

Cut along the dorsal fin with a sharp knife from head to tail, staying close to the bone. Use small, controlled movements because the flesh is delicate. Repeat on the other side. You can also ask your fishmonger to fillet it for you.

Yes, whiting freezes well:

  • Raw whiting: up to 3 months at -18°C
  • Cooked whiting: up to 2 months

Store airtight to prevent freezer burn. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator for best results.
