About Fish, whitefish, mixed species, cooked, dry heat

Whitefish (genus Coregonus) are a group of freshwater fish in the salmon family found across the cold lakes and rivers of the Northern Hemisphere, especially the Great Lakes, where lake whitefish is a longtime favorite. Their delicate, flaky white flesh is mild and gently sweet with a medium oil content that makes it rich without being heavy. Whitefish is a nutritious source of high-quality protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fats, along with vitamin B12, vitamin D, niacin, and selenium.

It is enjoyed pan-fried, baked, broiled, and poached, but it is most beloved smoked, and smoked whitefish is a deli classic spread into salads and dips, while the roe is sold as golden whitefish caviar. Its tender flesh cooks quickly and takes well to butter, lemon, and herbs. A light hand with the heat keeps the fine flakes moist. Choose fillets that look bright and moist with a clean, freshwater scent, and keep whitefish well chilled on ice, using it within a day or two or freezing it.
