The Northern Whiting, a common sight in coastal waters, is a slender fish with a silvery sheen that inhabits shallow coastal waters, estuaries, and even freshwater environments. These schooling fish are often found near sandy bottoms, where they bury themselves for protection. Their diet consists primarily of small crustaceans and worms, making them an important part of the marine food web. While not a large fish, the Northern Whiting offers delicate, white flesh with a mild, slightly sweet flavor, making it a popular choice for pan-frying, grilling, or baking.
