Tell me when it's landed
Pollack is a member of the cod family with a greenish-bronze back, a pale belly and a jutting lower jaw. It lives around wrecks and rocky reefs, and ours is line caught by Cornish boats.
The flesh is white and moist with a mild, slightly sweet flavour and large, soft flakes. It cooks in much the same way as cod or haddock, so it is a practical, versatile choice for anything from battered fish to pies and stews.
Suitable for
- Pan-frying
- Baking
- Poaching
- Fish pie
- Curries and stews
- Roasting
Ideas
- Beer-battered fillets with chips and mushy peas
- Fish pie with leeks, smoked haddock and parsley
- Roasted fillet with chorizo and white beans
- Coconut fish curry with lime and coriander

Chef's tip
Salt the fillets lightly 15 minutes before cooking and pat dry; it firms the soft flesh so it holds together.
