About Whitefish

Whitefish is a broad food name for fish described as whitefish, rather than a single clearly specified species. It may be sold as a fillet or other cut and encountered fresh, frozen, or in processed foods; the name alone does not establish the fish used.

The flesh is generally pale in appearance, but flavour, texture, and fatness vary among fish sold under this class and with the cut and preparation. The catalogue entry gives no further species or product details, so those should not be assumed.
