Whiting - The King Of Table Fish?
December 14th 2008 05:00
Whiting are considered by many to be the finest table fish available. Commonly sold as fillets, they can also be purchased whole or butterfly filleted. They are relatively expensive considering they are widespread and easy to catch. Whiting are generally fried or grilled and it is hard to better crumbed whiting served with chips and salad.
There are many whiting species with a wide distribution. Sand whiting occur along the Australian East and south coasts, school whiting inhabit inshore along the temperate coasts and King George whiting are found along the south coast and in Tasmanian waters.
The commercial Fin Fish Trawl Fishery targets stout whiting (Sillago robusta) in defined, managed areas off south east Queensland. They are also caught as bycatch from prawn trawling in Hervey Bay. Current research into whiting aquaculture research indicates positive results.
Whiting are readily caught by recreational fishers using a variety of baits. There is a bag limit of 30 and a minimum size of 23cm, according to the QLD Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries.
