Whiting also known as Hake is a family of cod-like fishes, including most hakes. They are native to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, being common in southern waters off Tasmania and New Zealand.

They are large predatory fishes inhabiting the waters of the continental shelf and upper continental slope, where they feed on small fishes such as lanternfishes. Several species are important commercial fishes, notably the blue grenadier, Macruronus novaezelandiae, which grows up to 130 cm long, and is fished in subantarctic waters of the southwest Pacific.
