    John, family and chef. Wonderful content seeing a gormet meal prepared from your catch. Regarding the chefs statement that a stigma being attached to Pollack is due to commerical fisheries catch this species, at least in |America and most anything you purchase in the frozen or packaged section is made up of processed pollack. For instance frozen fish sticks and fillets is usually pollack and the same can be said of immitation crabmeat and lobster is made of pollack. The fresh variety you got to sample seems to throw the stigma under the bus.seeing it can be made into quite the delicasy.

    I seem to remember that Jamie Oliver was once asked his personal favourite dishes to eat and 'fish finger sandwich' was one of the very top answers. And who could deny.

    Pollock underrated, more sustainable and comparatively cheap, cooked properly nice chunks of white fish. All the food looked great, but I hate celery cooked or raw, so I would substitute that. Apart from that another excellent demonstration on cooking both the lobster and a variety of ways of cooking pollock, the Fishfinger Sandwiches looked to die for. Thanks for posting.

    Wow... really enjoyed the 3 ways Jim cooked pollack. I have never seen it down here in a grocery store in San Diego, but will substitute cod or sea bass to make these dishes. Thanks for sharing the recipes.
