RECIPE TIPS
SUSTAINABLE FISH

You can use any sustainable white fish for these recipes – such as haddock, cod or any other firm white fish.

WHY CHOOSE POLLOCK?

With its white flesh, sweet flavour and medium flaky texture, pollock – a member of the cod family – is a useful, readily available fish for the home cook. You may have already encountered it in fish fingers and pies, and it is widely considered sustainable. If you can’t find it on the fish counter, look for it in the freezer, where it can be found as boneless flaky fish fillets.
