Fish
Norway Pollock
B tier
Norway pollock is trade language for Atlantic pollock (Pollachius pollachius) or mixed gadoids landed and processed through Norwegian and North Sea supply chains—mild white flesh, soft-medium flake, and reliable frozen quality. It is aimed at European retail and foodservice rather than Alaska surimi lines. Bake, fry, or use in fishcakes and pies. Norway pollock packs are often well-trimmed; still check for excess ice glaze. Season simply with dill, butter, and lemon, or go Nordic with mustard sauces.
