Whiting, Wholesomeness Of

The whiting is very tender and delicate; it possesses these qualities in a greater degree than any other fish which our coasts afford. It is not a very nutritive food, but it produces no stimulating action on the system, and not being oily or viscid is easily digested, and therefore well suited to delicate stomachs, and to patients labouring under various complaints, in which the daily use of even the least exciting meat might prove injurious.
