PRODUCT INFO
Atlantic pollock offers a slightly stronger flavor than other white fish, with a firm, flaky texture that holds its own in heartier preparations. It’s ideal for fish stews, chowders, and pan-fried fillets where a more pronounced, savory profile can shine. Its mild brininess also makes it a great match for buttery sauces, sharp vinegars, or smoked preparations. Affordable and sustainable, Atlantic pollock brings approachable flavor to everyday cooking.
