About Blue whiting

Blue whiting is a marine white-fleshed fish sold whole or as fillets. Its flesh is pale, lean and relatively delicate, with a mild flavour and a texture that can become soft when cooked.

It is used fresh or frozen in cooked fish preparations and may also be processed into fish products. Nutrition comparisons depend on whether the record refers to raw fish, cooked flesh or a processed product, and on any added coating, oil or salt.
