Blue Whiting
Faroe Islands national team (Faroe Islands)
Fun fish fact: blue whiting live in the north-east Atlantic from Morocco to Iceland, including the waters of the Faroe Islands. Football: in their first competitive match, in 1990, the Faroe Islands beat Austria 1-0.

Blue whiting are small, silvery-blue fish that swim in the open sea far from land. The Faroe Islands, tiny islands in the North Atlantic, beat Austria in their very first big match. This one is small too, but it does not think that matters.
On Futbol Island the blue whiting can be caught at:
- Deep Sea Boat: A little fishing boat moored far out in the deep blue bay, north of the East Jetty. Squid, marlin and stranger things swim far below.
- Summit Deep Boat: A second little fishing boat, moored in the deep channel west of Summit Isle. Green, deep water where tuna, sailfish and marlin hunt the bait balls.
Size on the island: 20–40 cm.
