Merluza fresca del Pacífico (merluza) – Capturada en estado salvaje en la costa de Washington
Pacific Whiting: Fresh from Washington’s Coast 🐟🔥
Straight from the cool, clean waters of the Washington coast, Pacific Whiting — also known as Pacific Hake — is one of the region’s best-kept seafood secrets. Caught wild and processed at peak freshness, this mild, flaky whitefish delivers a clean, delicate flavor perfect for frying whole or preparing in your favorite recipes.
At GlobalSeafoods.com, our Pacific Whiting is wild-caught, headed, and gutted right at sea for superior quality. With its soft texture and mild taste, it’s ideal for pan-frying, baking, or using in fish tacos and traditional seafood dishes.
Why Pacific Whiting Belongs on Every Table
Often overlooked beside halibut or cod, Pacific Whiting offers exceptional value and flavor:
-
Mild, delicate taste with clean ocean notes.
-
Soft, tender texture that stays juicy when cooked whole.
-
Lean and protein-rich, making it both healthy and satisfying.
-
Sustainably harvested from responsibly managed fisheries along the U.S. West Coast.
According to NOAA Fisheries, Pacific Whiting (Merluccius productus) is a well-managed species — not overfished and sustainably harvested under strict quotas. Choosing this fish supports both ocean health and local fishing communities.
How to Fry Whole Pacific Whiting (Traditional Style)
Cooking Pacific Whiting whole — with skin and bones — brings out its natural richness and ensures juicy, flavorful meat. Here’s how to make it at home:
Ingredients
-
Whole Pacific Whiting (cleaned and gutted)
-
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
-
Light coating of flour or cornmeal (optional)
-
Cooking oil (sunflower, avocado, or olive oil)
-
Lemon wedges and herbs for garnish
Directions
-
Rinse and pat the fish dry, then season with salt and pepper.
-
Lightly coat in flour or cornmeal for crispness (optional).
-
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
-
Serve hot with lemon wedges, parsley, or a side salad.
This simple method highlights the fish’s natural sweetness and yields crispy skin with moist, tender flesh.
