The Truth about Pacific Whiting and Seafood


The Truth about Pacific Whiting and Seafood

Pacific whiting, also known as sand lance, is a type of small fish that lives in the Pacific Ocean. The most common way to eat Pacific whiting is as sashimi or sushi, but it can also be prepared in many other ways.

Why Pacific Whiting?

Pacific whiting is a sustainable option for SEAFOOD lovers. Whiting is a versatile choice that can be prepared in a variety of ways and served in many different settings. The white flesh is known to have a mild taste profile, which means that it can be incorporated into any recipe without overpowering other flavors. Pacific whiting is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, making it an especially healthy choice for those who are looking for ways to incorporate more healthy fats into their diets.

The cost-effectiveness of this fish means that you won’t have to break the bank when purchasing or preparing it! While some other types of seafood can get quite expensive, this particular type of fish tends to cost less than most others on the market—which makes sense because they’re so readily available!

Finding a Sustainably Sourced Pacific Whiting

Once you know what to look for, it’s easy to find sustainable Pacific whiting. Look for the blue eco-label on the packaging and menus. When buying fresh seafood at the market or restaurant, ask your fishmonger or server if they are sure that their Pacific whiting is farmed and not wild-caught. If you cannot determine whether a fish is farmed or wild, don’t buy it!

Wild-caught Pacific whiting is managed by fisheries managers in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and other countries where this species occurs naturally in their waters—and since these fisheries exist outside of our control, we have no way of knowing how well they’re doing from an environmental standpoint (we can only hope).

Farmed Pacific whiting comes from hatcheries that produce millions of young fish each year for sale around the world as food for humans–but these facilities also take incredible amounts of feedstock such as wild shrimp (which themselves become part of our food chain) out of ecosystems where they may otherwise contribute directly towards sustaining healthy populations within those same ecosystems themselves!
