whiting

Here's a link to "Fishes of the Gulf of Maine", which I believe was taken from an old book, great source for identifying fish, and although the drawings are not in color the descriptions are excellent.

I think they were also called Frost Fish. Guys use to fish for them from the surf in Jan.

Very tasty fish as well. Almost smelt-like with delicate white (of course) meat. Lightly floured and fried up in hot oil- delish!

They are great tuna bait for sure. A lot of times when the draggers pull back you can get some floaters for your bait if you want to use whiting for tuna. DEADLY! Also a sabiki rig tipped with a little clam will produce whiting quickly for you.
