Whiting

Small silvery cod-like fish with tender, white, firm flesh, delicately flavoured and low in fat.

Whiting has an elongated body, a small head, and a pointed snout, growing up to 70 cm in length. They can be found widespread throughout Scottish waters.

Scottish Whiting are MSC certified. Whiting are a fast-growing species, reaching 6-7 inches in length at one-year-old and around 12 inches in their second year, by which time they will also be sexually mature. This high fecundity means that whiting are abundant in Scottish waters.
