Surprised no one's mentioned coddle. Basically a beef stew, and from what I understand, good pub food. The Field here in San Diego serves great Boxty!
In viewing this thread, I'm reminded of the song Faoitin, sung by a couple of different artists, though the most popular recording (and a great one, I might add) would undoubtedly be the one by Maighréad and Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill. It's praising the whiting as a good fish, even though salmon is considered the upper class fish and is sold to the Sasanach and only the poor eat whiting. Here are the lyrics, if anyone's interested:
Faoitín
from the singing of Máire Áine Ní Dhonnchadha
Faoitín toor a ló agus faoitín toor a laddie ó
Faoitín toor a ló is é an faoitín an breac is measa liom
Nach mór i gceist an liathán ag iascairí na Gaillimhe
Ach is fearr go mór an faoitín ós air a gheofá an tairbhe
Tá iasc ag daoine móra á chur anonn go Sasana
Agus d'fhágfadh siad an faoitín is a Dhia nach mór an scannal é
Saillígí na haebha agus íocfaidh siad an salann díbh
Is dheamhan ar fearr díbh é ná na haebha tríd an stirabout
Is dá bhfeicfeá Máire Mhór 'dhul suas sráid an mhargaidh
Faoitín ins gach aon láimh léi is ag iarraidh a stór a mhealladh léi
Grá mo chroí mo stóirín, is í nach ndéarfadh tada liom
Is í a chuirfeadh na fataí móra i dtaisce i leic an teallaigh dhom
'ró, óró a Mháire, a Mháire a stór an dtiocfá abhaile liom
Mura dtiocfaidh tú mar a gheall tú go mbáitear in sa Daingean tú
Btw, stirabout is a soup.
Hey, Fiolar, you live 'round here?
