Tasting 

Whiting has delicate flesh with a fine but subtle taste. It is a highly appreciated fish but quite delicate to cook: cooking it for too long affects the texture of the fish. It is best to cook this fish with its skin.

In the pan or in the oven, grilled, poached or stuffed, the whiting is prepared in many ways. It is also ideal for soups and fish breads.

The sweet and delicate taste of this fish appeals even to children
