Light, lean, and endlessly adaptable, Pacific pollock is the workhorse of white fish—mild in taste with a tender flake that plays well in countless dishes. It’s the star of many fish sticks, seafood salads, and surimi (imitation crab), but shines just as well when simply baked, battered, or sautéed. With its neutral flavor and delicate texture, Pacific pollock is a blank canvas for bold spices, tangy marinades, or crispy coatings, making it a staple in kitchens around the world.
