What it is
These are pre-portioned fillets of Alaskan pollock, a mild white fish. They are typically frozen to preserve freshness.

How people cook with it
Alaskan pollock fillets are excellent for a variety of cooking methods.
- Baked with lemon and herbs
- Pan-seared for a crispy crust
- Added to fish tacos
- Used in fish and chips
To prepare, thaw the pollock fillets completely in the refrigerator. You can then bake them in a preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, usually around 12-15 minutes. For pan-searing, heat a little oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. They can also be lightly floured and fried for a classic fish and chips preparation. Ensure the fish is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
How it differs from similar foods
Alaskan pollock is a leaner and milder-tasting white fish compared to cod or haddock. Its texture is slightly softer and it absorbs flavors well. It is generally more budget-friendly than many other types of white fish, making it an accessible option for everyday cooking.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a simple and mild white fish for weeknight dinners.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unused, thawed fillets refrigerated and consume within one to two days. For unopened frozen packages, store them in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Proper storage ensures the quality and safety of the fish.
