[ice fishin nut]

Anybody ever have it????? Meijers had it on sale, so I thought I would buy some and try to smoke it..... It was headed and gutted, I butterflied it and its in the brine now.......

It's really oily, Mike

I didn't care for it. One of my employees swore by it though. He would roll it in cornmeal (not the white) and fry it for quite a while. Soul Food....

Thanks Ralf,,,,, We'll see how it turns out smoked....

It might taste pretty good smoked. The brine should pull some of that oil out.
Keep me posted.

Ive caught them in Florida. Theyre like a bass flavor. If fresh can good if all dark meat is trimmed off and we fried them the same way just like catfish... I wouldnt buy them but alot of fun to catch.

I think Whiting is one of those "filler fish" that is used in generic processed fish products like fish sticks and what not.

Lunker,,,, I figured 3 whole fish for $2.00, what the heck!!!! But then again, you get what you pay for!!!

Ypsi, your right...... Just looked at a box of fish sticks,,,,, Whiting is the main ingredient!!!!!


Oh well, they are going into the smoker today, along with 2 nice salmon fillets. Will let ya know the results...

The results are in........ (they've been done for 2 days, just got around to trying them)

I slow cold smoked the whole batch and the whiting turned out quite good!!!!! The general reply around here is to go buy some more when it goes on sale again.......
