Very good to eat.. Better than most.
Ling are well known for being sweet and mild, just a bit soft, and don't freeze real well.. Whiting were white sweet and mild as well, and firmer than Ling.. a smoked Whiting is the best eating smoked fish of all time in my opinion.. I like smoked salmon, but IMHO, smoked Whiting are better.. I sure do miss them...
Sad part is, we had that fishing year after year, decade after decade, and then it was gone...bob
