About Whiting
Whiting is a common name for a fish sold as food. The name identifies a fish category but does not specify the particular species intended, the cut, or whether the product is fresh, frozen, or otherwise processed.
It may be sold whole or as fillets and prepared in a range of ways. The flesh is typically pale, while texture and flavour depend on the fish and its handling; this entry does not provide enough detail to describe a specific product beyond the common-name category.
