The statement in the link attached above "it is not an important quarry of the sportsfishermen." would not have been true in the 60s when they were plentiful off the NJ coast. This was the number one target of the winter party boat fleet, along with ling. It's only true today because like many other fish their numbers are way down. Smoked whiting was sold in most fish markets and bars along the Jersey shore.
