What it is

How people cook with it
These pollock portions are excellent for a variety of cooking methods. They can be prepared quickly for weeknight meals or incorporated into more elaborate dishes.
- Pan-seared for a light crust
- Baked with herbs and lemon
- Added to fish tacos
- Used in fish and chips
To prepare, you can thaw the pollock portions under refrigeration or by running them under cold water. For pan-searing, heat a little oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky. Baking involves placing the portions on a baking sheet, seasoning as desired, and baking at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. They are also suitable for steaming or broiling. Ensure the fish is cooked through before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fillets, pollock loins are cut from the thicker part of the fish, offering a more uniform shape and texture. They are typically less prone to breaking apart during cooking compared to thinner fillets. The skinless nature means no extra preparation is needed to remove it.
