Tag: Cooking with pollock

Alaska pollock, a major source for fish sticks and fast-food sandwiches, is exclusively wild-caught, primarily in the Bering Sea. In contrast to other popular species like salmon, pollock is not commercially farmed due to the immense scale and distribution of its natural fisheries.

In 2023, a British newspaper noted that pollock fish fingers were significantly cheaper than their cod counterparts, confirming pollock's reputation as a budget-friendly seafood. This affordability is largely due to the fish's sheer abundance and the highly efficient, well-managed nature of its global fisheries.
