What is wild alaskan pollock, and what does it taste like?
Answers:
I have Alaskan Pollock every other Friday... it's a white fish, so it isn't too strong... if you like sole or cod or haddock, you will like pollock... I buy it frozen at the grocery store, let it thaw for about an hour, put it on a baking sheet greased with a little olive oil at around 400F for 12 minutes or so... when it flakes with a fork, it's pretty much ready. Add some black pepper, veggies on the side... delicious.

Pollock is a form of Cod, and it's not bad, but a little stronger than the cod you might be used to. Not offensive at all, just a bit different.
I cannot stand a strong, oily fish, but Alaskan Pollock if reasonably fresh is good.
On our three trips to Alaska, we have never seen the Pollock for sale, either in stores or restaurants, I guess they just use it for export, but the same goes for the Coho and similar salmon, that stuff they air dry for the dogs and export to the lower 48.
It is a white fish. I don't like it...too mushy.
Very inexpensive as it is used to make immatition Crab meat.
OK on it own but there are much better choices
