• Wild South Seafood Whiting is wild caught from Australian Southern Ocean. It is line caught and wild.
• The fish is collected from a community of boats when they pull up at the wharf, beautifully hand filleted with care, packed into 2 person sized fillets, vacuum packed and immediately individually quick frozen. All within a few hours of coming off a boat.
• Although snap frozen, after thawing in the fridge overnight, the quality is exceptional. From when the fish first leaves the sea the process of getting it to you in the best condition takes no short cuts, and provides full traceability.

Easy peasy pan fried whiting recipe:

Ingredients

560g skinless whiting fillets, bones removed.

Sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling.

40 g unsalted butter.

1 lemon, juices and finely zested.

2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onions – mainly green/white parts

Cooking method:

Heat 2 large frying pans over high heat so you don’t overcrowd the pan and ‘poach’ the fish rather than pan-fry it (see note). Season the fish, add a drizzle of olive oil to both pans and, when hot, add 2 fillets to each pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, then divide the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley between the pans. Shake to gently combine, then serve immediately with the salad.
