white-fish
Pale freshwater swimmer
Whitefish is a general term for various fish with pale, mild-tasting flesh, including cod, haddock, and pollock.
The name distinguishes these from oily fish like salmon or mackerel.
In North America, whitefish also refers specifically to freshwater species of the genus *Coregonus*, prized in Great Lakes fishing.
We ordered the whitefish with lemon butter.
The term appears in cooking contexts where the particular species matters less than the light, flaky texture.
