Whiting

Merlangius merlangus, commonly known as whiting or merling, is an important food fish in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean and the northern Mediterranean, western Baltic, and Black Sea. In Anglophonic countries outside the whiting's natural range, the name "whiting" has been applied to various other species of fish.

The whiting lives in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and it is common in the North Sea off the east coast of Britain. It is fished commercially throughout these European waters.
