Have you ever eaten Pollock? Alaska Pollock is the first cousin to the Cod Fish. This delicious fish is very versatile, a good source of protein, and can be used to prepare a number of economical dishes.
Pollock is a white fish. They are usually sold as fillets and are lean, and meaty. Its delicate flaky flesh is low in environmental contaminants such as mercury and pesticides. The smell is very similar to salted Cod
In the video below, Quartz shows the commercial side of Pollock fishing.
Below is a simple, yet delicious way to prepare Alaskan Pollock fish. The crispiness of the fried pollock balances with the creamy tenderness of the mushroom sauce.

Ingredients
Pollock Fish
- 2.5 lbs Pollock Fish 8 pieces
- 3 tbsp Spice Mix Seasoning
- 3 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Black Pepper
- 3 tbsp Tumeric

Instructions
Fried Pollock Fish
- Wash fish pieces in lemon juice. Remove and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Season Pollock fish pieces on each side with salt, pepper, spice mixed seasoning, and tumeric powder.
- Leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- In the cast iron pan heat oil for 2 minutes. Gentle lay pollock pieces onto hot oil to prevent splashing of the hot oil. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove fish fillets from oil using the spatula. Lay on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Set aside.
Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- In the same cast iron pan, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the remaining oil and allow to cook for 1 minute.
- Use the knife and cutting board to slice mushrooms into fairly thin slices. Add the sliced mushrooms to the onion mixture, stir and cook the mushrooms until tender.
- Add the flour to mushroom mixture, stir and allow cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the room temperature milk, salt, pepper, and dried thyme leaves. Use the spoon to constantly stir until the sauce thickens. Allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Turn off the flame. Serve over fish fillets with your favorite starchy side dish.
