A delicious fish, you’ll find whiting popular in fish and chip shops across the nation. Mild in taste, sweet and delicious in spite of its many bones, it’s a fish that won’t overpower a meal.

You’ll find the whiting on sandy bottoms during our dives looking for their next meal.

Quick facts on whiting

• Whiting have no teeth so they swallow their prey whole.
• They’ll feed on worms, shrimp and small fish.
• Perfectly camouflaged on sandy bottoms, you’ll find them there scrounging for food. While their mouth is small, they are extremely fast and aggressive predators if you happen to be on the menu.
