Wild Alaska Pollock is a flaky, delicate white fish caught in the waters of the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska. It’s incredibly mild, so it readily takes on the flavors of any dish. Wild Alaska Pollock is a great option for a range of meals, including tacos, appetizers, chowders, and fish bakes. Wild Alaskan Company offers Wild Alaska Pollock portioned as fillets and as “Quick Cuts” — ideal for soups and snacks, since they’re already cut into bite-sized pieces.
Here are 5 of WAC’s Favorite Wild Alaska Pollock recipes.
