Considered one of the most desirable fresh water fish, whitefish (aka lake whitefish) is found in cold, deep-water lakes and rivers in the US and Canada, with a substantial population in the Great Lakes.
A relative of the salmon, this fish has a mild (yet rich), somewhat salmon-esque flavor, a medium-firm texture, and a large flake size.
These fresh fillets have only been harvested from trap-net caught whitefish, which are considered very sustainable.
American whitefish caviar and whole whitefish are also available.
