Origin: Atlantic (Gran Sol). The whiting (Merluccius merluccius) is a white fish, caught using a fishing technique called "volanta", which involves throwing a "wall" of net from the surface to the bottom and letting the hakes get trapped in it. Whiting is rich in proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, B12, and niacin. Whiting has even less fat than hake (0.6 g compared to 2.8 g per 100 g of edible portion, respectively), making it a white fish with an even lower calorie content than its adult counterpart. It is a source of omega-3 fatty acids and its proteins are of high biological value. The mineral contributions are notable in the case of selenium and phosphorus. Regarding vitamins, the content of vitamin B6, B12, and niacin would be noteworthy, as they contribute to normal energy metabolism. A serving of whiting provides 75% of the recommended intakes of B12 for men and women aged 20 to 39 with moderate physical activity.
