What Is Pollock?

Pollock is a versatile, lean whitefish known for its flaky texture and mild, slightly sweet taste. Recognizable by its speckled greenish-brown skin and white underbelly, it’s a go-to option for both home kitchens and food manufacturers worldwide. Often seen in fish fingers, breaded fillets, and even imitation crab products, pollock has become one of the most widely consumed whitefish on the planet.

The two main types are Alaskan (Pacific) Pollock and Atlantic Pollock. Most of the frozen pollock sold in the UK today is sourced sustainably from the icy waters of Alaska. Whether grilled with garlic and herbs or deep-fried in a classic fish and chips dish, pollock adapts well to a range of preparations thanks to its tender, neutral flavor.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly alternative to cod or haddock without sacrificing taste, pollock is a perfect choice.

Processing Pollock

To preserve its freshness and flavor, pollock is cleaned, filleted, and flash-frozen shortly after being caught. The processing includes removing the scales, gills, head, and tail, and then separating the fillets using automated machines to maintain consistency.

Once filleted, the fish is packed into pans and quickly frozen into fillet blocks or prepared as IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) portions for flexible use. These frozen forms are ideal for commercial kitchens and retail buyers alike, as they allow for easy portioning and long shelf life—up to 18 months when stored at –18°C in their original sealed packaging.

Benefits Of Frozen Pollock

Pollock isn’t just affordable—it’s also incredibly healthy. This low-fat, high-protein fish is an excellent source of vitamin B12, B6, niacin (B3), and phosphorus, all of which contribute to cardiovascular, cognitive, and metabolic health.

Regular consumption of pollock can help manage cholesterol levels, support heart function, and reduce inflammation. For men, niacin may even help improve blood flow, which is linked to reproductive health. The presence of omega-3 fatty acids supports brain development and can aid in managing age-related cognitive decline.

For expectant mothers, pollock is a smart, nutrient-rich seafood option that supports fetal development and maternal well-being, without the higher mercury content of some larger fish species.

Because it’s lean, filling, and easy to digest, pollock is also a fantastic addition to weight-loss diets or high-protein meal plans—ideal for anyone living an active lifestyle or looking to maintain muscle while cutting back on calories.
