A cornerstone of French coastal cuisine and a staple of the traditional poissonnerie, the Wild Merlan Whiting is a fish of quiet distinction. Belonging to the prestigious cod family, it is recognised by its slender, silvery body, pointed snout and the subtle black blotch at the base of each pectoral fin, a telling mark of its wild origins.

What the Whiting lacks in visual drama, it more than compensates for in eating quality. Its flesh is white, lean and exceptionally delicate, with a mild, slightly sweet flavour that is clean, approachable and wonderfully versatile. It takes well to a wide range of preparations, pan-fried whole, steamed, baked en papillote, or used as the foundation of a classic French brandade or fish quenelle. Its fine texture makes it a favoured choice for light, refined dishes. Wild-caught from French waters and delivered fresh, it brings an authentic taste of the French fish market to your kitchen.
