About Broad whitefish

Broad whitefish is a freshwater fish found in northern waters, including Alaska. It has a streamlined body with silvery sides and is used as food in some Alaska Native foodways. The flesh is generally pale and mild, but flavour and texture vary with the fish, season, habitat and handling.

It may be eaten fresh or preserved by methods used locally, including drying or smoking. Those forms differ from one another and from raw fillet, so the name alone does not establish the preparation represented by a particular food sample.
