Pollock is a white sea fish closely related to cod, with a mild flavour and a soft flake that runs a little looser. Raw it shows a faint grey tint and cooks to a clean white. The gentle flavour takes a sauce, a crumb or a batter well.

We cut Cornish pollock at the Barnes counter into fillet portions, skin on or skinned, pin-boned by hand. The thick loin end is the firmest piece and the one to bake or fry whole.

Bake a fillet at 180C for 10 to 12 minutes, pan-fry it skin-side first or flake it into fishcakes and fish pie, where it holds its own alongside smoked fish.

Origin, cooking and recipe

Origin and species

This is Cornish pollock, a white sea fish closely related to cod, with a mild flavour and a soft flake that runs a little looser. Raw it shows a faint grey tint and cooks to a clean white.

How to cook it

The gentle flavour takes a sauce, a crumb or a batter well, and the thick loin end is the firmest piece to bake or fry whole. Bake a fillet at 180C for 10 to 12 minutes, pan-fry it skin-side first or flake it into fishcakes and fish pie, where it holds its own alongside smoked fish. Pat it dry and get the pan hot before it goes in, because pollock holds moisture.

Recipe

From the Journal: fish pie and fish tacos.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. If you need longer, wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight before cooking.
