About Fish, whitefish, broad, head, eyes, cheeks and soft bones (Alaska Native)

The broad whitefish is a hardy freshwater fish of the far north, found in the rivers, lakes, and coastal waters of Arctic Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. A member of the whitefish and salmon family, it has mild, delicate white flesh with a gentle flavor and a moderate richness that has made it one of the most important subsistence foods for Indigenous communities across the Arctic. It is traditionally eaten fresh, frozen raw as a delicacy, dried, or smoked, and its roe is valued too.

Broad whitefish provides high-quality protein, heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, making it a nourishing staple in cold northern climates. Its firm flesh holds together well when grilled, baked, or pan-fried, and its clean taste pairs nicely with simple seasonings. Smoking brings out a wonderful depth in this fish. Look for broad whitefish with bright eyes, firm flesh, and a fresh, clean smell, keep it cold on ice, and cook or freeze it soon after it is caught.
