School Whiting (Silago) Photographs
and Information
|
School whiting have a silver stripe along the side of their body but no dark blotch on
the pectoral fin base.
School whiting are endemic to southern regions of the Australian continental shelf.
They live close to the sea bed over sandy substrates, and normally live in depths
from the surf zone to about 80 metres.
Their diet is mainly Crustaceans, primarily amphipods and prawns and polychaete worms.
Juveniles consume mostly amphipods and polychaete worms.

School Whiting is the marketing name for 3 low-medium priced
species, all with a distinctive silvery stripe along the middle of their
bodies. They’re all endemic to Australia and a lot of the catch is
frozen whole and exported.
Southern School Whiting (Sillago bassensis), found along the
southern coast from Western Port (Victoria) to Geraldton (WA), is the
largest of the School Whitings.
Eastern School Whiting (Sillago flindersi), with a distinguishing
row of rusty brown spots on the upper half of its sides, is found off
Australia’s south eastern coast from Noosa (Qld) to Port Lincoln (SA),
and is the smallest of the three.
Stout Whiting (Sillago robusta), distinguished by a yellow blotch
between the eye and the pectoral fin, is found on the western coast from
Fremantle to at least Shark Bay, and on the eastern coast from Bowen
(Qld) to Newcastle (NSW), as well as off the Northern Territory.
Fishing Angling for School Whiting:
Whiting are generally
caught using rod-and-line and handlines from shore
or by boat with live baits, such as worms, soldier crabs and yabbies
(nippers). Fresh peeled prawns can also be used.

Whiting Fillet
Buying
Whiting are sold whole (gilled and gutted), as trunks (headless), and in single
and butterflied fillets. In whole fish look for lustrous skin, firm flesh, and a
pleasant, fresh sea smell. In fillets, look for white, firm, lustrous, moist
flesh without any brown markings or oozing water and with a pleasant fresh sea
smell. Sand and Yellowfin Whitings tend to naturally have a faintly yellow hue
to their flesh.
Storing
Make sure whole fish is scaled, gilled, gutted and cleaned thoroughly. Wrap
whole fish and fillets in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container.
Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze whole fish for up to 6 months, and
fillets for up to 3 months, below -18ºC.
Cooking & Serving
Whitings are suitable for a wide range of cooking methods: steaming, poaching,
deep-frying, pan-frying, stir-frying, baking, braising, grilling, barbecuing,
and raw (except for Trumpeter, which is too soft for sashimi). They have a
delicate, sweet flavour (though King George can be slightly ‘peppery’), low
oiliness and moist, medium-textured, flaky flesh with fine bones which are
easily removed. The edible skin can be left on, the flesh has good gelling
characteristics, so works well in mousseline, and the bones make excellent
stock. Fillets tend to be thin in all except the largest fish, so are often best
wrapped in foil or banana leaves to protect them when barbecuing or grilling.
King George and Sand Whitings are good plate-sized fish for cooking whole
Microwave Cooking Times for Fish
- Fish fillets – 5 minutes per 500g on medium-high, +50 seconds more for thicker
fillets, or until flesh flakes
- Whole fish - Large – 6 minutes/750g on medium
- Whole fish – Small – 3-4 minutes on medium
