Whiting looks almost prehistoric, straight out of Jurassic Park.
It happens to be my very favorite fish to eat. Headed and scaled and fried up. The flaky white meat falls right off its bone and you eat it like smelt, as if you were eating corn on the cob.

This fish was a big part of our family’s business where many local people were employed. With the big increases in water and sewer rates, it just didn’t make financial sense to process fish in Gloucester so we started shipping the whiting to New York back in the eighties and nineties.
