Whitefish

The Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) is a species of freshwater whitefish from North America. They are found throughout much of Canada and parts of the northern United States of Minnesota and Michigan, including the Great Lakes. A valuable commercial fish, whitefish are also occasionally taken by sport fishermen.

Cooked whitefish has an exceptionally fine, sweet, light flavour. Even those who don't like to eat fish find they can enjoy whitefish due to its mildness. It's perfect for a variety of dishes and adapts to almost any cooking method.
