Fish

Dorsal

Dorsal fillet of Whiting is the upper back strip—lean and firm. Preferred for neat slices and raw service on suitable species. As a dorsal section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep whiting dorsal iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Frying, steaming, pies, and gentle baking suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame delicate thin fillet.
