About Sheefish

Sheefish, also called inconnu, is a freshwater fish found in northern North America. Its flesh is pale and firm when raw, with a mild flavour; texture and richness can vary with the fish’s size, condition, and handling.

It is eaten fresh or preserved and can be cooked by common fish-preparation methods. It may be sold whole, as fillets, or in other cut forms. The name identifies a fish rather than a uniform retail cut, and measurements can differ between raw and cooked flesh.
