Best Way to cook Whiting!

[Jamie Donnelly]

this is my favourite way to cook whiting.

cut of the head, and slice down the belly, all the way down to the tail fin. put out the guts and clean.

now comes the harder part, get the knife and put it under the rib cage, then slice down to the tail, the flesh should come of the bone. do it to both sides. then without cutting the fillets apart cut the backbone out. you should now have a "butterfly" whiting. cover it in flour and egg, then flour again. fry in 1cm of oil both sides for about 2/3 mins a side. it should be golden and crispy.

serve with chips or new potatos and a slice of lemon.

it really really tastes sooo good :)

Another recipe for whiting (Seeing as I'm about to cook one).

Head and gut straight after catching it. Whiting is a really delicate fish and gutting straight away keeps the flesh firm, otherwise the guts turn it to mush.

Clean out the body cavity and wash well under the tap to remove slime, put it into a steamer and steam for 15 - 20 minutes (Depending on size) and serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper. Cooked like this the flesh falls off the bone and is really soft and moist.

Always try to cook fish as simply as possible. ;)

No mate, you're wrong,

fish should be cooked,

Salad and fruit is eaten raw,

A rule of thumb, "if it was capable of walking swimming or flying, It should be dead and cooked before being consumed ! :)

Have to agree with this, all meats should be cooked

[Codfather2]

fish doesnt always HAVE to be cooked but it does taste better i do agree. its not like pork or chicken and wont do you any damage if prepared correctly and eaten raw. i've eaten mackerel and tuna raw and it didnt taste all that bad (of course it had been prepared properly)

just took a nice whiting out of me freezer (was lb an a half) and having it tonight so i thought look see how people prefer them cooked.

Well heres a new angle on Rons "fillet and release club" , how about this :idea:

"after you bring the fish ashore, you unhook it, take a bite out of it and then put it back?" :unsure: :) :yeah:

thanks i'll try that next time but as i said i'd rather cook it

now for people who look at this thread after ways to cook whiting....... last night i filleted 2 fish of about 35-40cm. lightly fry them with VERY little oil for about a minute on each side, crumble up some cheese(not too strong) with some breadcrumbs and give the fillets a (generous) coating then put em under the grill till it forms a nice crust. very tasty and easy to do if you cant be ****ed to make an effort. like me last night
