Eastern School Whiting
Available wild-caught, they are marine fish found from Noosa, QLD south to Port Lincoln, SA and mainly caught in eastern Bass Strait by Danish seines, as well as with otter trawls off QLD, NSW and WA. They are often found schooling close to sandy bottoms, usually from 0-70m, with juveniles in estuaries or close to the coast.

Cooking Methods: Steam, poach, deep-fry, pan-fry, stir-fry, bake, braise, grill, BBQ, raw (sashimi). Thin fillets are best wrapped in foil or banana leaves to protect them when barbequing or grilling. Flesh has good gelling characteristics and works well in mousseline.
