Essentially, a mild, white fish.
Pollock are the favorite fish of fast-food fryers, and of surimi, the ubiquitous fish paste that is used to make “seafood analogs,” the ersatz shellfish products that look and taste a lot like the real thing— at a fraction of the price.
Alaska pollock is the largest food fish resource in the world. The best quality pollock is excellent for broiling and sautéing and can be used as a substitute for flounder or sole—at a fraction of the price

Pollack is a member of the cod family. Found throughout the north Atlantic. Not caught in great numbers but still an edible fish. Most commonly found used as the Krab, or crab flavored strips that you find kryovaced in the supermarkets and in some sushi.
