What is Pollock?

Pollock refers to two species of marine fish in the genus Pollachius. They are commonly found in the North Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Pollock is a white fish with a mild flavor, making it a popular choice for use in processed foods such as fish sticks, imitation crab, and various seafood dishes. It is also valued for its low fat content and high protein levels, along with being a source of vitamins and minerals such as B12 and selenium.
