To prepare the pollock fillets, you can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water. For baking, place the fillets on a baking sheet, season with your favorite spices, and bake until opaque and flaky. When pan-searing, heat a little oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the fillets for a few minutes per side. They are also excellent when breaded and fried or used in stews and chowders. Ensure the fish is cooked through before serving.
