About Pacific whiting

Pacific whiting, also called Pacific hake, is a marine white-fleshed fish from the northeastern Pacific. It is sold whole, as headed and gutted fish, or as fillets; frozen and processed forms are also common. The raw flesh is pale and relatively lean, with a mild flavour and a delicate, flaky texture when cooked.

It is used in everyday fish cookery, including baking, pan-cooking, and frying, and may be made into fish portions or surimi products. Fresh, frozen, skin-on, skinless, and formed products are not interchangeable descriptions: processing and added ingredients can change their texture and composition.
