A member of the cod family, Alaska pollock is one of the most abundant and versatile fish in the world. It can grow as large as 3 feet (91 cm), but will typically average from 12 to 20 inches in length and from 1 to 3.5 pounds in weight. Alaska pollock has a mild taste with a somewhat higher oil content than other whitefish species. It is one of the most efficient sources of protein, as it’s low in calories, carbohydrates and fat.
Fun fact:
Alaska Pollock has consistently been one of the top five seafood species consumed in the U.S.
