Enjoy Fresh, Never Frozen Seafood – Shipped Overnight! LEARN MORE
Fresh from the waters off New England, whiting is a small, wild caught fish. Similar to cod, whiting is soft and sweet. Quick Italian lesson: The Italian word for whiting is “merluzzo.” The word for fried is “fritti.” In our kitchen—and in our most formative, flavorful memories–these two words are inseparable. And they’re delicious. Slice into fillets, then cut into chunks. Next, dredge this flaky, tender, sweet fish in Wondra flour and lightly fry. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt, enjoy it right away, and try not to practice your Italian with your mouth full.
Whole Whiting is perfect for fish and chips, and of course, our fresh Tartar Sauce!
Portion Size
Our Whole Wild Whiting is approximately 2.5-3 pound each. We recommend 1 lb. of raw fish per person when serving whole fish. The size of this order is 1 fish (approx. 2.5-3 lb per fish), which serves 2-3 people.
"Go simple with whiting. Try California Sauvignon Blanc or an unoaked Chardonnay."
