From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), also called the Sault whitefish or gizzard fish, is a species of freshwater whitefish from North America.[1] """"""""""""The genus Coregonus (co-regg'-on-us) means "angle eye" in Greek and the species clupeaformis means "Herring Shaped" in Latin."""""""""""""" Lake whitefish are found throughout much of Canada and parts of the northern United States, including all of the Great Lakes. The Lake Whitefish is sometimes referred to as a "humpback" fish due to the small size of the head in relation to the length of the body [2]. A valuable commercial fish, they are also occasionally taken by sport fishermen. Smoked, refrigerated, vacuum-packed lake whitefish fillets are now commonly available in North American grocery stores.
