Whiting fish 

Jamaican Restaurant in The Bronx Serving the Best Whiting Fish 
​Whiting Fish

One of the best things about living in the Caribbean is that you can get fresh fish all year long. Whiting fish is a popular ingredient in many Jamaican fish dishes, and not only is it good for you, it’s delicious too. If you like delicate white fish without all the bones, that takes on the other flavors of a dish, you’ll love whiting. It’s commonly used in dishes such as:
  • Escovitch fish: This classic is enjoyed year-round by jamaicans, but it’s a special part of Easter and Good Friday celebrations. A common version of the dish is made with whole fresh whiting smothered in Escovitch sauce, which contains onions, carrots, pimento, and peppers soaked in spices and vinegar.
  • Fish tea: This isn’t the kind of tea you’d drink out of a tiny little cup. Fish tea is a hearty, tasty soup filled with chunks of whiting and island flavors in every bite.
  • Brown stew fish: This dish is bursting with flavor and it’s one of our favorites. A popular choice in the islands, brown stew fish features fried whiting fillets (or whole fish or snapper) that’s simmered in a brown sauce with peppers, onions, tomatoes, and island spices. Usually, it’s served with ground provisions or rice and peas.
Whiting is an excellent source of magnesium, protein, and vitamin B. Every 100g serving (about the size of the average filet) contains approximately 90 calories, 18g protein, 72mg sodium, 67mg cholesterol, and just one gram of fat, making whiting a relatively healthy choice.

Whiting is a versatile fish that’s perfectly suited to use in Jamaican dishes. Try one of our whiting entrees today!
