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.

yup, frost fish. my uncle used to take us kids to barrington beach in the winter at night with lanterns, hip boots, and gig poles. they'd swim into the shallows and we'd try to gig them...
