Steamed whiting (buharda mezgit) is European whiting, not haddock. Season cleaned fish lightly, set it above simmering water, and steam until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily. Add lemon after cooking to keep its delicate flavor bright.
Thin pieces of steamed whiting usually cook in about 8–10 minutes; thicker portions or a whole fish take longer. Check the thickest part: it should be opaque and separate easily with a fork.
Lemon, black pepper, parsley, and bay leaf all suit steamed whiting. Keep the seasoning light so it does not overpower the fish’s mild flavor, and add lemon juice or a little olive oil just before serving.
To stop steamed whiting from falling apart, avoid overcooking it and do not turn it repeatedly. Arrange the portions in a single layer and lift them out gently with a wide spatula once the flesh flakes easily.
Yes, you can steam frozen whiting, but thawing it in the refrigerator first helps it cook more evenly. Pat the thawed fish dry, then check the thickest part to make sure it is opaque and cooked through.
Serve steamed whiting with potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad. A simple lemon dressing complements its mild taste without masking it; rice or crusty bread also makes the meal more substantial.
Leftover steamed whiting keeps for up to three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is thoroughly hot.
No. Steamed whiting is made from European whiting, while steamed haddock uses a different fish species. They are both mild white fish, but they are not interchangeable names, even if some recipes use similar cooking methods.
No, rinsing raw whiting is unnecessary and can splash bacteria onto nearby surfaces. Pat it dry with a paper towel instead, then wash your hands and any utensils or surfaces that touched the raw fish.
Steamed whiting is done when its thickest part is opaque and flakes apart easily with a fork. If the center still looks translucent, continue steaming briefly and check again before serving.

Buharda mezgit is steamed whiting, a mild white fish familiar in Turkey; the name on this page refers to whiting rather than haddock. Steaming keeps the flesh moist and tender, with flakes that separate easily and a delicate flavour.
In Turkey, it can be served for lunch or dinner with lemon, salad and greens, or alongside potatoes or rice. It also works well as a simple fish supper with steamed vegetables. Naturally lean and high in protein, it provides 20 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, season it with lemon and herbs instead of adding a rich sauce.
