To make fish cutlets from whiting, take one kilogram of whiting, a large spoon of mayonnaise (see), one egg, one onion, fifty grams of fresh lard, two pieces of bread, two large spoons of milk, red sweet pepper and salt (you can add your favorite seasonings).
Now let's get down to the process of making cutlets. We clean the fish from scales and entrails. We wash the fish, remove the skin and separate the bones from the meat. We pass the fish fillet along with the onion, two pieces of bread soaked in milk and squeezed out of it, and lard (however, if you don’t have lard, do not try to replace it with lard, this is unacceptable). Add egg, salt, mayonnaise and spices to the resulting minced meat. Knead the minced meat thoroughly, form cutlets with wet hands (this way the minced meat will not stick to your hands), roll the cutlets in flour or ground breadcrumbs.
Place the cutlets in a frying pan heated with vegetable oil and fry on each side for eight to nine minutes, and for the last two minutes keep the cutlets under a closed lid so that the cutlets have time to steam. In these last two minutes, put two large spoons of water into the pan.
Recipe: Fried whiting
To prepare fried blue whiting, we take the following ingredients: two carcasses of the whiting fish itself, two large spoons of mayonnaise, half a small spoon of ground pepper (black), four large spoons of wheat flour, a little salt.
Now let's proceed to the actual preparation of fried blue whiting fish. We take the fish, gut it, wash it thoroughly and add salt. Mix flour with pepper. First dip each fish in mayonnaise, then dip each fish in a mixture of pepper and flour, place the breaded fish in a frying pan heated with oil, cover the frying pan with a lid and fry the fish until it is completely cooked.
After cooking, transfer the fish to a plate, decorate with sprigs of fresh herbs and serve.
Blue whiting in the oven
Let's try cooking blue whiting in the oven. To do this, we will prepare the following products: eight hundred grams of blue whiting, two cloves of garlic, a little parsley, the juice of one lemon, one glass of dry white wine, a little butter, pepper and salt.
Now let's talk about cooking the fish itself. We cut the fish, clean it thoroughly, sprinkle the inside with salt, also rub the inside with pepper and pour lemon juice over it. We carefully make two cuts on the sides of the fish; in each cut we put pre-crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Place the fish in a frying pan with oil. Add chopped fresh herbs, a few large spoons of olive oil and a portion of wine to the fish. Place the prepared fish in a preheated oven for half an hour, during which time you will need to turn the fish from one side to the other several times.
Blue whiting salad
To prepare whiting salad, take three hundred grams of boiled blue whiting fillet, two potatoes, three hard-boiled chicken eggs, three tomatoes, a little parsley, basil, lemon juice and mayonnaise.
Let's start preparing this rather unusual salad. Grind the fish fillet in advance, mix it thoroughly with pre-boiled potatoes, cut into cubes, an egg cut into slices, a tomato cut into strips, chopped parsley, and a small amount of basil. Season the resulting salad with mayonnaise and a small amount of lemon juice. Place the dome-shaped mixture on a serving plate and decorate with a mesh of mayonnaise and the remaining egg and tomato slices. Let the lard cool a little and we can serve.
Braised blue whiting
To prepare stewed whiting fish, we need the following ingredients: one kilogram of fresh frozen whiting fish, two medium-sized carrots, two medium-sized onions, three red tomatoes, half a glass of water, fifty grams of light mayonnaise, a little salt, spices and vegetable oil.
Now we will tell you about the preparation of stewed blue whiting fish. Cut the pre-cleaned and gutted fish into small pieces, place the pieces of fish in a fairly deep frying pan greased with vegetable oil. Take the onion, cut it into thin half rings, peel the carrots, wash them and grate them, fry the carrots and onions a little in a frying pan and place them on top of the fish. We cut red tomatoes into thin rings and also place them on top of the fish. Separately combine water, salt, mayonnaise and spices, add a little vegetable oil to the mixture and pour it over the fish. Cover the fish with a lid and simmer the whole thing for twenty-five or thirty minutes. It depends on the size of the fish pieces.
Blue whiting soup
To prepare whiting fish soup, we need the following ingredients: three hundred grams of chicken meat, several pieces of blue whiting fillet (if you don’t have blue whiting, take saury, horse mackerel, cod), three potatoes, two onions, several dried mushrooms, one carrot, salt, two liters of water, spices, roots, herbs.
And now we’ll tell you about the preparation of blue whiting fish soup; it is also sometimes called royal fish soup. So, fill the dried mushrooms with cold water. As soon as they swell, drain the water they were in, filter it and use it to prepare our fish soup. Cut the chicken into several pieces, cut the fish into pieces too. We clean, wash and cut the vegetables at your discretion.
We put the water on the fire, wait until it boils and salt it, immediately put all the ingredients into salted boiling water, bring the soup with all its contents to a boil, after that we continue to cook for another five to seven minutes, then turn off the stove, cover the soup with a lid and let it sit for another twenty to twenty-five minutes. Usually this fish soup is served in the same pan in which it was cooked. Add the necessary roots and herbs to the finished soup.
In this ear you will feel a very rich aroma, thanks to the combination of fish, mushrooms, vegetables and poultry.

This fish is not particularly popular on our table, but in vain. Its meat is tasty, has no unpleasant smell, and the price is the lowest. At least I managed to buy an 800 gram package at the Magnit store for 50 rubles.
This is not the first time I buy and cook blue whiting; my family likes it best fried in mayonnaise.
Of course, this fish is often sold uneviscerated, so there will be a lot of waste. If you have a large family, it is better to take two packages at once. My children are big eaters, so we only have one for dinner.
I make sure to remove all the fins, they come out very easily, you just have to pull them forcefully against the growth. After frying, the small bones are not felt at all and the fish is very convenient to eat - only the spinal bone remains.
So, for the recipe we need:
Blue whiting- 1 package
Mayonnaise- 3 tbsp.
Flour- 3 tbsp.
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt pepper
Prepare the fish and dry it a little, no need to add salt. On a plate, mix flour with salt and pepper. Don’t be afraid to add more salt, some of it will still go into the oil. I just ran out of pepper and sprinkled some khmeli-suneli. Pour mayonnaise into another plate; if it is thick, you can dilute it a little with water, but I didn’t dilute it.
Each fish must first be immersed in mayonnaise and then rolled in flour with salt and spices. Place in hot oil and fry on each side until done.
The recipe is very simple, but it turns out incredibly tasty. The fish looks like it has a crispy, fluffy coat.
