Until recently pollock was a fish universally treated with disdain. But now it is appearing in very smart restaurants, it's pollock all the way! It's white, it's flaky, it looks the part and it definitely eats the part. Some chefs will argue that Pollock needs a little help, however if you buy handline Cornish Pollock you'll soon discover that this gem of a fish has a distinctive flavour due to its rich diet of bait fish and crustaceans.
