Whiting and Coalfish/Saithe

[kayos]

With the Cod not showing much on our Summer trip, we kept a decent sized Whiting and a Coalie. Took them out the freezer today and Lynn deep fried them in batter. Whiting was lovely, Coalie? Well it's flesh was a bit grey, but tasted OK ish. Probably wouldn't have it again though.

most fish are lovely fresh , not tried a pouting yet but if i get a good size i will. i have had coale in batter and alos coali spiced up . must say the firm coalie flesh is good for like a spicy fish bake / grill just add ur own favourtie flavours. .

What a price! Was that a certain Mr Stein?

Whiting are quite nice but as part of the cod family then you would expect it.... very under-rated. Light batter with a lemon and garlic mayo..... D E L I G H T F U L !!!!

Grey Coalie flesh... hmmmmmmm
