Pan-Seared Whiting
The quickest, easiest way to prepare fresh fish! Great for a quick weeknight meal accompanied with fresh veggies.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 4 (125g) whiting fillets
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup (60g) plain flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Preparation:10min ›
Cook:8min ›
Ready in:18min
- Rinse whiting fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish; gently press each fillet into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a frypan over medium-high heat; cook the fish in the hot oil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the melted butter onto the fish in the last minute before removing from the frypan. Serve immediately.

Me, Nick, Chris and Paul just caught 10 whiting. Chris reckons he caught the most, but 2 of them were toadfish. Nick and Chris both wore stupid hats. Pauls cooking them pretty soon - 06 Jan 2015
First of all, my fish looked like the picture which AMAZED me because although I'm not a beginner cook I tend to over batter fish. This was AMAZING. My fiance loved it! There are things I changed just to suit my tastes...(I am sure the original recipe would have been just as good.) I added onto the normal salt and pepper...Old Bay, garlic salt, more paprika, a little ground red pepper, onion powder and then I dusted it with flour. What helped me know that the pan was hot enough was something I learned from the Food Network. I just took a tiny pinch of flour and tossed it in the oil...if it started to cook or bubble...that's how you know it's ready for the fish. I did not use the extra unsalted butter. THIS WAS AWESOME! My fiance ate the whole thing before I could sit down! He said it was better than his mom's! He even told his mom about it! Thank you so much for this dish! - 20 Feb 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
So simple and good! You can add whatever seasoning you like to the flour. (I used blackened seafood seasoning) I made a garlic-butter, parsley and lime sauce to go on top. yum. - 10 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
