Some vanishgly small fraction of ocean whitefish are unpalatable...or so I've heard. Not toxic or anything, just inedible. If you get one that's nasty and bitter, just persevere.

I've eaten a thousand of them and never had this problem.

I've had it happen to me a couple times. It tastes like someone seasoned the fish with baking soda. Other than that the fish is super tasty when the meat is right.

Good eats. Just got to remember they have the same closed season shared with rockfish.
