Tail Cut

Tail-cut of Whiting is smaller and faster-cooking. Fold thin ends under for even heat in sauced dishes. As a tail cut section of steak, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep whiting tail cut 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.
